Sell a small development site in Burry Port

Selling small development sites near Burry Port doesn't have to start with an agent and a marketing campaign. You can talk to a buyer first and still take independent advice before you decide.

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.

No commission: we're the buyer
No pressure to decide
Independent advice encouraged

Sites for two to around nine homes
Land at the end of cul-de-sacs
Old yards, depots and lock-up sites
Land within a settlement boundary

Small sites are a focus for us. They're too small for many national housebuilders, and too complicated for many self-builders, which can leave owners without an obvious buyer.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Dyfed

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.

Drainage

Sustainable drainage must fit within the site.

Build costs

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

Ways to sell this land

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.

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.

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.

Awkward details we deal with

Yes. We price in demolition and any contamination clean-up.
