How we arrive at a figure for land in South Glamorgan

Permission

A plot with full permission is worth the most because building can start once conditions are met.

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.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Planning and legal points for land in South Glamorgan

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

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 rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
