Residential development land wanted in Redruth
If you own residential development land in or around Redruth, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Residential development land means a site with a credible route to new homes. Planning permission is not essential: much of the land we want has none yet. What matters is location, access and whether local policy could support housing in the next few years.

Is your land in Redruth the kind we want?
In and around Redruth we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place. Sitting about 8 miles west of Truro, Redruth is within Cornwall, with Camborne and Truro close by.
- Land next to or within an existing town, village or suburb
- Sites with or without planning permission, including land promoted in a local plan
- Single plots, small sites, medium sites and larger strategic land
- Freehold land where the owner (or all the owners) can sell
Cornwall has no Green Belt, but landscape designation is extensive: the Cornwall National Landscape covers large stretches of coast and countryside, alongside the Tamar Valley and Isles of Scilly National Landscapes. Settlements are dispersed, from Truro, Camborne, Redruth and St Austell to many small coastal and inland villages. Sites coming forward are often edge-of-settlement fields, farm buildings, former mining and china clay land, and rural exception sites for local needs.
What usually makes or breaks it
Settlement boundary
Land inside or touching a defined settlement usually has a clearer policy route than isolated land.
Access
A safe vehicle access with adequate visibility is often the single biggest make-or-break item.
Development plan position
Whether the council has an up-to-date plan shapes how applications are judged; in England, housing land supply also matters.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Cornwall has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Redruth are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 215 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
How small a site do you consider?
We look at single building plots as well as larger sites. Small sites can be very worthwhile, particularly infill land within towns and villages.
Can I sell part of my land and keep the rest?
Often, yes. We can look at selling an agreed area, with access and boundaries set out so the land you keep is not left landlocked.
Is Redruth too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 215 miles from Redruth, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Redruth to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
