Land we're keen to see around Birmingham
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Sites within a settlement boundary
- Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
- Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.
The things that move our offer
Street character
Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.
Local plan policy
Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.
Neighbours
Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.
Heritage
Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.
How a sale works
Send us the address
A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.
We check it properly
Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.
We put an offer in writing
It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.
Solicitors complete the sale
Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.
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.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.
When the land isn't straightforward
The plot is in a conservation area
Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.
There's an old right of way across it
We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.
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
