Wanted in Redhill

Development land wanted in Redhill

Own land in Redhill that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.

Redhill is in Surrey, about 17 miles east of Guildford. Nearby places include Reigate, Horley and Caterham. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 117 miles from Redhill, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Surrey is a county of commuter towns, including Woking, Guildford, Epsom, Reigate, Redhill, Camberley, Staines-upon-Thames and Farnham, and many villages. Most of the county is Metropolitan Green Belt, and the Surrey Hills and High Weald National Landscapes cover much of the south. Previously developed land, infill plots, garden and backland sites and grey belt are therefore central to housing supply, with larger sites usually allocated through local plans.

Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.

Some land in Surrey is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.

Land without planning permission

Brownfield land

Brownfield land in Redhill tends to be well located for homes; the questions are usually about contamination, demolition and neighbours.

Infill plots

Around Redhill, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design.

Garden and backland plots

Around Redhill, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together.

Farmland and paddocks

Fields that wrap around the edges of Redhill and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about.

Commercial and industrial sites

We look at yards and units across Redhill where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses.
