Residential development land wanted in Faversham
If you own residential development land in or around Faversham, 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 Faversham the kind we want?
Sites on the edge of Faversham or the villages nearby can be worth a conversation, especially where they are well connected by road and bus or rail. Faversham lies about 16 miles east of Maidstone in Kent. We also cover Whitstable, Sittingbourne, Canterbury and the villages between them.
- Sites with a road frontage or a clear route to one
- 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
Kent ranges from the Medway towns, Dartford and Gravesend on the Thames to Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and the coastal towns of Margate, Ramsgate, Folkestone and Dover. West Kent is largely Metropolitan Green Belt, while the Kent Downs and High Weald National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Sites typically include edge-of-town fields, orchards and farmland, farm buildings, infill plots and brownfield land in the towns.
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.
Utilities and drainage
Foul and surface water drainage, and power capacity, affect cost and timing more than most owners expect.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Parts of Kent are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 146 miles from Faversham, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Faversham ask
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.
Will you tell me if you think the land is not suitable?
Yes. If we think the site has no realistic route to homes we will say so and, where we can, explain why.
Is Faversham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 146 miles from Faversham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Faversham assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
