Gwynedd, as used here, covers north-west Wales and Anglesey, including Bangor, Caernarfon, Holyhead, Llangefni, Porthmadog and Pwllheli. Eryri National Park and the Llŷn and Anglesey National Landscapes cover much of the land, and there is no green belt. Sites tend to be small: edge-of-village land, infill plots, farm buildings and brownfield land in the towns, with Welsh language impact and local housing need often central to decisions.
Before we make an offer in Caernarfon
Structure
Conversion routes usually require the building to be capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding.
Protected landscapes
National Parks and National Landscapes can restrict permitted development and design.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 107 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
