How we arrive at a figure for land in Gwynedd
Number of homes
Each additional home a site can take adds value, if the layout works.
Access
A short private drive can serve a few homes; more need an adoptable road.
Trees and boundaries
Mature trees and hedges on small sites have a big effect on layout.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage must fit within the site.
Choosing how to sell
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 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.
When the land isn't straightforward
There's a protected tree
We design around it and allow for root protection areas.
The access is tight
We check whether it can serve the number of homes proposed.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
What people ask us about small development sites
How do you value a small site?
We work out what the homes would sell for, then deduct build costs, fees, finance, planning costs and a profit margin. What's left is the land value.
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.
