What makes building plots near Welshpool worth an offer
- Plots with full or outline planning permission
- 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.
The things that move our offer
Permission
A plot with full permission is worth the most because building can start once conditions are met.
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.

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
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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map

Questions from landowners near Welshpool
Do you buy plots without planning permission?
Yes, usually subject to planning, so you're paid a price that reflects value with consent.
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 cover the villages around Welshpool?
Yes. Villages between Welshpool, Newtown and Oswestry often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
