Land we're keen to see around Reigate

  • Blocks of land of several acres on the edge of towns and larger villages
  • Sites that can be reached from a main road or a new junction
  • Land being considered in a local plan review
  • Sites close to schools, shops and public transport

If you own a large block of land next to a town, the right partner and the right agreement matter more than a fast headline price. We explain each structure and what it means for you.

The things that move our offer

Local plan timing

A site that can be put forward at the next plan review has a clearer route to permission.

Landowner collaboration

Neighbouring owners agreeing to work together can unlock access and better layouts.

Minimum price

A floor price protects you if values fall during a long planning process.

Phasing

Large sites are often bought in phases, with payments staged to match.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

Rare on unallocated strategic land, but possible at a risk-adjusted price.

Subject-to-planning sale

A fixed or formula price paid once an acceptable permission is granted.

Option agreements

The usual route: an option fee now and a price based on market value later.

Joint ventures

Lets you share in the development value if you can wait for it.

Planning and legal points for land in Surrey

Green belt and grey belt

Green belt land is protected from inappropriate development. National policy in England also recognises 'grey belt': green belt land that doesn't strongly contribute to key green belt purposes, where housing can be acceptable if further tests are met.

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 land is farmed by a tenant

Tenancies need managing before building can start. We look at notice periods and compensation early.

You are worried about being tied up for years

We agree a term with clear milestones, so the agreement can end if planning stalls.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Reigate

What counts as strategic land?

There's no legal definition. In practice it means larger sites, often over five acres, whose route to development runs through the local plan or a major planning application.

How long do strategic land deals last?

Terms vary with the site and the plan timetable. Several years is common, with options to extend if planning is progressing.

How is the price worked out on an option?

Most options set the price as a percentage of market value once permission is granted, less agreed deductions, with a minimum price to protect you. We explain every deduction before you sign.
