What we look for around Tiverton

  • Reserved matters approvals or discharge-of-conditions decisions already in place
  • Permissions that are still within their time limit, or have been lawfully started
  • Prior approvals for conversions, such as agricultural buildings to homes
  • Plots with permission in principle

Consented land sells on detail. We read every condition and obligation so our offer is based on the scheme as approved, not on guesswork.

The things that move our offer

Type of permission

Full permission carries less risk than outline, which still needs reserved matters approval.

Time left on the permission

A permission close to expiry may need a quick start or a fresh application, and that affects price.

Pre-commencement conditions

Conditions that must be discharged before building starts can add surveys, cost and delay.

Abnormal costs

Retaining walls, drainage works or contamination add cost beyond a normal build.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

The usual route for consented land: agree a price, then exchange and complete.

Subject-to-planning sale

Useful if you want us to improve or renew the permission before completion.

Option agreements

Rarely needed once consent exists, but can suit phased sites.

Joint ventures

An option if you would like a share of the profit from building the homes.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

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

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

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.

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.

Agricultural buildings (Class Q)

In England, Class Q permitted development can allow some agricultural buildings to become homes through prior approval, within limits on size and number of homes.

When the land isn't straightforward

The conditions look onerous

Some conditions are routine and some are expensive. We price each one so you can see what is driving the offer.

The Section 106 makes the scheme unviable

If costs have moved since consent, a viability review or a variation may be possible. We will tell you if we think that is realistic.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

Does a permission go with the land when I sell?

Yes. Planning permission attaches to the land, not to the owner, so it passes to the buyer automatically.

Do you pay more for full permission?

Usually, because there is less risk and less work before building can start. How much more depends on the conditions and obligations attached.

Can you exchange quickly on a consented site?

Often, yes, because the planning question is answered. The pace then depends on title, searches and how quickly both solicitors work.

Do you cover the villages around Tiverton?

Yes. Villages between Tiverton, Exeter and Heavitree often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
