Residential development land wanted in Leominster
If you own residential development land in or around Leominster, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
If a piece of land could hold new houses or flats, it counts as residential development land. That might be a paddock on the edge of a village, a yard in a town, or a field next to an existing estate. We assess each one on its own merits and say plainly what we think.

What residential development land we want near Leominster
Sites on the edge of Leominster or the villages nearby can be worth a conversation, especially where they are well connected by road and bus or rail. Leominster lies about 12 miles north of Hereford in Herefordshire. We also cover Ludlow, Hereford, Loughton and the villages between them.
- Land next to or within an existing town, village or suburb
- Land outside the highest flood risk zones, or where flood risk only affects part of the site
- Sites with or without planning permission, including land promoted in a local plan
- Freehold land where the owner (or all the owners) can sell
Most new homes are planned around Hereford and the market towns, with smaller numbers in villages through neighbourhood plans. Typical opportunities include edge-of-village paddocks, redundant farm buildings, infill plots and former commercial land, with flood risk along the Wye and Lugg valleys a frequent consideration.
Before we make an offer in Leominster
Settlement boundary
Land inside or touching a defined settlement usually has a clearer policy route than isolated land.
Development plan position
Whether the council has an up-to-date plan shapes how applications are judged; in England, housing land supply also matters.
Utilities and drainage
Foul and surface water drainage, and power capacity, affect cost and timing more than most owners expect.
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.
Herefordshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Leominster are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 42 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Herefordshire
Does my land need planning permission before you will look at it?
No. Most residential land we are asked about has no planning yet. We look at policy, access and constraints and tell you whether we think a permission is realistic, and which way of selling suits the risk.
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.
Is Leominster too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 42 miles from Leominster, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Leominster?
As Leominster is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
