Sell strategic land and large sites in Clydach

Thinking about whether to sell strategic land and large sites in Clydach? A free appraisal tells you what we'd pay and how we got there, with no obligation to go further.

Strategic land is a larger site, usually several acres or more, whose development depends on being allocated in a local plan or winning a major planning permission. Because that can take years, strategic land is usually sold on an option or a conditional contract rather than outright.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

What we look for around Clydach

  • Sites that can be reached from a main road or a new junction
  • Land being considered in a local plan review
  • Land without major heritage, ecology or flood constraints
  • Sites close to schools, shops and public transport

Large sites on the edge of towns are where much of the country's new housing ends up. Getting there takes local plan promotion, technical studies and patience, and the deal needs to reflect that.

What decides the value of strategic land near Clydach

Infrastructure

New roads, schools or drainage on a large scheme are paid for out of land value.

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.

Term length

Longer agreements give more time for planning but tie up your land for longer.

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.

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

Several family members own the land

We can work with all owners and their advisers, and agreements can set out how payments are split.

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

Do I pay for planning on strategic land?

Normally not. Under an option or conditional contract the buyer funds planning and technical work, and recovers those costs from the land price only if the agreement allows it.

Should I take independent advice?

Yes. Strategic land agreements are complex and you should have your own solicitor and, ideally, a land agent or surveyor. Some agreements contribute to those costs; we will say up front whether ours does.

Do you cover the villages around Clydach?

Yes. Villages between Clydach, Neath and Swansea often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
