Is your land near Humberstone a good fit?

  • Plots for one to a handful of homes
  • Unconsented plots in residential streets
  • Plots where a previous permission has lapsed
  • Corner plots and end-of-terrace side plots

Whether your plot has full permission, outline consent or none at all, we'll look at what can realistically be built and make an offer to match.

What affects the price

Permission

A plot with full permission is worth the most because building can start once conditions are met.

House size

The size and type of home the plot can take sets its value.

Services

Connections to water, power and sewers can cost more than you'd expect.

Local values

Plot values follow what a finished home would sell for locally.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

The usual route for plots with permission.

Subject-to-planning sale

We buy once permission is granted for an agreed scheme.

Option agreements

Rarely needed for single plots.

Joint ventures

Can suit owners who want to share in the home's sale price.

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Leicestershire

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

The permission has lapsed

A new application is often straightforward if policy hasn't changed, and we can make that a condition of purchase.

The plot shares a drive

Shared access needs the right legal rights. Your solicitor will check the deeds.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

How much is a building plot worth?

It depends mostly on what the finished home would sell for, minus building costs and a profit margin. We'll show you how our figure is reached.

Can I sell a plot in my garden?

Yes. See our page on garden land, which covers the extra points to consider when splitting a garden.

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 you buy land in Humberstone?

Yes. We consider land in and around Humberstone and across Leicestershire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
