Is your land near Ewell a good fit?

  • Plots for one to a handful of homes
  • Plots with full or outline planning permission
  • Unconsented plots in residential streets
  • 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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Surrey

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.

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.

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

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Ewell

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.

Do I need to clear the plot before selling?

No. We buy sites as they are.

Can you visit land near Ewell?

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.
