Small sites wanted in Rhyl
We are actively looking for small sites in Rhyl and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
A small site is usually land for fewer than ten homes, such as a corner plot, a side garden or a small field. Larger housebuilders often overlook them, but small sites are exactly the kind of land we want across England and Wales.

The small sites that interests us around Rhyl
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Rhyl, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. Rhyl lies about 18 miles north-west of Mold in Clwyd. We also cover Prestatyn, Abergele, Colwyn Bay and the villages between them.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
The A55 coast road and the Wrexham to Bidston and North Wales Coast rail lines link the main towns with Chester and Merseyside. Coastal flood risk under TAN 15 is significant around Rhyl and Prestatyn, and phosphate limits in parts of the River Dee catchment have affected some schemes.
What usually makes or breaks it
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England affordable housing is usually only sought on schemes of ten or more homes; in Wales many councils seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes a single home.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
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 85 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Rhyl ask
Why do larger developers ignore small sites?
Large builders tend to focus on bigger schemes that suit their overheads. Small sites need a different approach, which is why we actively look for them.
Can you buy a single building plot?
Yes. Single plots, with or without consent, are part of what we buy.
Is Rhyl too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 85 miles from Rhyl, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Rhyl assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
