Sell a building plot in Penarth
We buy building plots across South Glamorgan. In Penarth, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
If you've been trying to sell a plot to self-builders without success, a direct sale to a builder can be simpler and quicker.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer

Land we're keen to see around Penarth
- Plots for one to a handful of homes
- Plots with a road frontage or a private drive
- Corner plots and end-of-terrace side plots
- Plots that need a demolition first
Single plots are often overlooked by larger developers. We buy them because small sites matter and because our aim is to build on them.
What decides the value of building plots near Penarth
Permission
A plot with full permission is worth the most because building can start once conditions are met.
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.

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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
Your questions answered
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.
Do I need to clear the plot before selling?
No. We buy sites as they are.
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.
Can you visit land near Penarth?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
