Is your land in Llantrisant the kind we want?
Sites on the edge of Llantrisant or the villages nearby can be worth a conversation, especially where they are well connected by road and bus or rail. Llantrisant is in Mid Glamorgan, about 9 miles east of Bridgend. Nearby places include Beddau, Tonyrefail and Pontypridd.

- Freehold land where the owner (or all the owners) can sell
Mid Glamorgan covers the South Wales valleys of the Rhondda, Cynon, Taff and Merthyr, along with Bridgend, Pontypridd, Maesteg and Porthcawl. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the northern uplands fall within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Former colliery and industrial land, terraced-street infill and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing sites, with coal mining legacy and steep slopes common checks.
What usually makes or breaks it
Settlement boundary
Land inside or touching a defined settlement usually has a clearer policy route than isolated land.
Flood risk
We check the official flood maps early; land in the highest-risk zones is rarely suitable for homes.
Utilities and drainage
Foul and surface water drainage, and power capacity, affect cost and timing more than most owners expect.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 93 miles away, and we buy land throughout 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.
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Llantrisant 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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Llantrisant assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
