Sell a small development site in Sevenoaks

Selling small development sites near Sevenoaks 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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • Independent advice encouraged

Is your land near Sevenoaks a good fit?

  • Sites for two to around nine homes
  • Land at the end of cul-de-sacs
  • Land within a settlement boundary
  • Small sites in villages where policy supports limited growth

Government policy has repeatedly emphasised the role of small sites in housing supply. We'll check how your council's plan supports them.

The things that move our offer

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.

Biodiversity net gain

Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected; larger sites must still deliver at least a 10% gain.

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.

From first call to completion

  3. We put an offer in writing

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

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.

Section 106 and CIL

Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.

Awkward details we deal with

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.

There's a protected tree

We design around it and allow for root protection areas.

Useful to send us

  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Sevenoaks

Do small sites need affordable housing?

In England, national policy generally doesn't seek affordable housing on schemes below ten homes, though some rural areas set lower thresholds. In Wales, many Local Development Plans seek contributions from smaller sites. We check the local policy.

Will you buy a site that needs demolition?

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

Can I see your appraisal?

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

Do you buy land in Sevenoaks?

Yes. We consider land in and around Sevenoaks and across Kent. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
