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.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.

Planning and legal points for land in the West Midlands
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Walsall?
Yes. Villages between Walsall, Bloxwich and Wednesbury often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
