Sell land subject to planning in Whitchurch

We offer a subject-to-planning sale on land across South Glamorgan, including sites around Whitchurch, Rhiwbina and Llandaff.

A subject-to-planning sale, or conditional contract, is a sale where contracts are exchanged now but completion only happens once an acceptable planning permission is granted. It lets you agree a price based on the land's value with permission, while the buyer pays for and manages the application.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

When a subject-to-planning sale suits land near Whitchurch

  • Small sites with a clear planning case
  • Brownfield sites needing a housing permission
  • Owners willing to wait for a higher price
  • Sites where the planning period can be agreed in advance

A conditional contract shares the planning risk fairly. You agree a price today, we fund and run the planning application, and the sale completes if permission comes through.

A deposit is usually paid on exchange and held until completion.

Planning and legal points for land in South Glamorgan

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.

Section 106 and CIL

Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.

Common problems, and how we handle them

You're worried about being tied up indefinitely

A long-stop date sets the maximum time. If permission isn't granted by then, you're free.

You want to know what 'acceptable' permission means

The contract defines it, such as a minimum number of homes. Your solicitor should check it carefully.

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
