What affects the price
House size
The size and type of home the plot can take sets its value.
Neighbours
Overlooking and loss of light to neighbours limit what can be built.
Services
Connections to water, power and sewers can cost more than you'd expect.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.

What Wales's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Section 106 and CIL
Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.
Awkward details we deal with
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
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
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.
Will you buy a plot with an old house on it?
Yes. Demolition and rebuild can work well, and we price in demolition costs.
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.
Do you buy land in Rhondda?
Yes. We consider land in and around Rhondda and across Mid Glamorgan. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
