What makes building plots near Whitstable worth an offer
- Plots for one to a handful of homes
- Plots with a road frontage or a private drive
- Unconsented plots in residential streets
- Corner plots and end-of-terrace side plots
Single plots are often overlooked by larger developers. We buy them because small sites matter and because our aim is to build on them.
The things that move our offer
House size
The size and type of home the plot can take sets its value.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.
Local values
Plot values follow what a finished home would sell for locally.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

Planning and legal points for land in Kent
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Section 106 and CIL
Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.
Common problems, and how we handle them
Self-builders keep pulling out
Self-builders often need mortgages and stage finance. A builder buying direct can remove that uncertainty.
The plot shares a drive
Shared access needs the right legal rights. Your solicitor will check the deeds.

Your questions answered
Will you buy a plot with an old house on it?
Yes. Demolition and rebuild can work well, and we price in demolition costs.
Do I need to clear the plot before selling?
No. We buy sites as they are.
What happens to any CIL on the plot?
Where CIL applies, it's usually paid by whoever builds. Some self-build exemptions exist, which we check.
