Is your land near Ebbw Vale a good fit?

  • Reserved matters approvals or discharge-of-conditions decisions already in place
  • Permissions that are still within their time limit, or have been lawfully started
  • Sites with a signed Section 106 agreement we can read
  • Lapsed or lapsing permissions, which we can look at renewing

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.

Section 106 and CIL

Affordable housing and financial contributions come straight off what a buyer can pay.

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Rules that apply in Wales

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.

Agricultural buildings

England's Class Q rights don't apply in Wales. Converting a barn to a home in Wales generally needs planning permission.

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

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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Ebbw Vale

Can you buy if I only have outline permission?

Yes. We will price the reserved matters work and the risk that the detailed design changes the number or type of homes.

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 Ebbw Vale?

Yes. Villages between Ebbw Vale, Merthyr Tydfil and Blackwood often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
