See what we look forQuestions
What kind of land do you buy?
Land that could take new homes: fields and paddocks next to settlements, brownfield sites, infill and garden plots, garage courts, redundant buildings, barns, land with planning and larger strategic sites. We buy in England and Wales.
Do you only buy land with planning permission?
No. Much of the land we look at has no planning permission. We assess whether a permission is realistic and can buy subject to planning, take an option or buy outright.
Is there a minimum or maximum site size?
No. We look at single building plots through to land for 50 or more homes.
