How we arrive at a figure for land in Powys
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.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.
Four routes to a sale
Single plots are often overlooked by larger developers. We buy them because small sites matter and because our aim is to build on them.

Rules that apply in Wales
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
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.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
What people ask us about building plots
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.
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 Powys?
Yes. We consider land across Powys, from Newtown to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
