How we arrive at a figure for land in West 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.
Neighbours
Overlooking and loss of light to neighbours limit what can be built.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

We put an offer in writing
It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.
Solicitors complete the sale

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 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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Photos of the land and its access
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.
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.
Will you buy a plot with an old house on it?
Yes. Demolition and rebuild can work well, and we price in demolition costs.
