Sell a small development site in Wigston
Our interest in small development sites around Wigston is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.
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 commission: we're the buyer

What makes small development sites near Wigston worth an offer
- Sites for two to around nine homes
- Sites with an existing permission for a small scheme
- Land within a settlement boundary
- 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.
The things that move our offer
Affordable housing thresholds
In England, schemes under ten homes usually fall below the national threshold; many Welsh plans seek affordable housing from smaller sites.
Access
A short private drive can serve a few homes; more need an adoptable road.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage must fit within the site.
Build costs
Small sites cost more per home to build, which the land price reflects.

Planning and legal points for land in Leicestershire
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.
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
