Sell development land in Camberley

Whether your land is in Camberley itself or in the villages between Camberley and Sandhurst, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.

Development land is land where new homes or other buildings could realistically be built, either because it already has planning permission or because its location makes permission a reasonable prospect. We buy development land across England and Wales directly from the owner, so there is no agent's commission to pay.

  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

What we look for around Camberley

  • Land that adjoins an existing town, village or housing estate
  • A safe point of access onto a public road, or a realistic way to create one
  • Sites from around a quarter of an acre upwards
  • Sites allocated, or put forward, in the local plan

Selling development land well depends on matching the deal to the planning position. With permission in place, an outright sale is usually simplest. Without it, a conditional contract or option can share the planning risk fairly.

What decides the value of development land near Camberley

Planning status

Land with an implementable permission is worth far more than land with none, because the biggest risk has gone.

Number of homes

Value follows how many homes the site can sensibly take once roads, open space and drainage are fitted in.

Ground and drainage

Poor ground, contamination or the need for a pumping station all add build cost that comes off the land price.

Local sale values

The price new homes will sell for nearby sets the ceiling on what the land is worth.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

Best where permission is already granted and the title is clean.

Subject-to-planning sale

Lets you lock in a price now that is paid once we secure permission.

Option agreements

Suits larger fields where the planning route may take several years.

Joint ventures

Worth discussing if you want a share of the finished development value.

Rules that apply in England

Biodiversity net gain

Under the Environment Act 2021, most developments in England must deliver at least a 10% gain in biodiversity. Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected.

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.

Flood risk

Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.

Awkward details we deal with

The access is over someone else's land

We check the title for rights of way and, where needed, factor in the cost of buying or negotiating access.

Part of the field floods

We map the flood zones and look at whether homes can sit on the drier part, with the rest used as open space.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Questions from landowners near Camberley

Do you buy development land without planning permission?

Yes. Without permission we usually buy on a subject-to-planning contract or an option, so the price reflects value with permission rather than farmland value. If you need a quick, unconditional sale, we can also make an outright offer that reflects the planning risk.

What size of site do you buy?

We look at sites from around a quarter of an acre for a single plot up to large fields on the edge of towns. Size matters less than location, access and planning prospects.

How long does it take to sell development land?

With permission and clean title, a sale can move as fast as the solicitors can complete the legal work. Without permission, timing depends on the planning process, which commonly takes many months and sometimes years for larger sites.

Do you buy land in Camberley?

Yes. We consider land in and around Camberley and across Surrey. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
