Sell a small development site in Flint

We buy small development sites across Clwyd. In Flint, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

A small site is a piece of land that could take a handful of homes, typically up to around nine. National housebuilders often overlook small sites, which is where a regional builder buying direct can offer a better route to sale.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

Small grassy corner plot with mature trees at the end of a cul-de-sac of brick houses

Is your land near Flint a good fit?

  • Land at the end of cul-de-sacs
  • Old yards, depots and lock-up sites
  • Sites with an existing permission for a small scheme
  • Small sites in villages where policy supports limited growth

A corner of land, an old yard or a large garden can make a small site for a few homes. We buy them, and our aim is to take them through planning to new homes.

What decides the value of small development sites near Flint

Number of homes

Each additional home a site can take adds value, if the layout works.

Affordable housing thresholds

In England, schemes under ten homes usually fall below the national threshold; many Welsh plans seek affordable housing from smaller sites.

Trees and boundaries

Mature trees and hedges on small sites have a big effect on layout.

Build costs

Small sites cost more per home to build, which the land price reflects.

Four routes to a sale

Outright purchase

Simple where permission exists or you need certainty now.

Subject-to-planning sale

The most common route for small unconsented sites.

Option agreements

Useful if land needs assembling from more than one owner.

Joint ventures

Can suit owners who'd like to share in the homes' sale value.

What happens next

  1. Send us the address

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

  2. We do the homework

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

  3. We put an offer in writing

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

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Planning and legal points for land in Clwyd

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.

Biodiversity

Wales doesn't use England's 10% net gain metric. Planning Policy Wales expects development to deliver a net benefit for biodiversity.

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 site is an awkward shape

Odd shapes often still work for a short terrace or a pair of homes. We test layouts before offering.

The access is tight

We check whether it can serve the number of homes proposed.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Your questions answered

What is a small site?

Usually a site for fewer than ten homes. Definitions vary, but these are the sites larger builders often pass over.

Will you build the homes yourselves?

That's the aim of the land-to-homes work we're setting out to do: buying the land, getting permission and building the homes.

Can I see your appraisal?

We'll explain the main figures behind our offer so you can compare it with independent advice.
