The things that move our offer
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.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

Rules that apply in England
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.
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 permission has lapsed
A new application is often straightforward if policy hasn't changed, and we can make that a condition of purchase.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
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.
Do you buy plots without planning permission?
Yes, usually subject to planning, so you're paid a price that reflects value with consent.
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.
