Small sites wanted in Bournemouth
If you own small sites in or around Bournemouth, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Small sites are plots for roughly one to nine homes. They are quicker to plan and build than large schemes and national policy encourages councils to bring more of them forward. We buy small sites with or without planning.

What small sites we want near Bournemouth
Small sites in and around Bournemouth are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Bournemouth is in Dorset, about 24 miles east of Dorchester. Nearby places include Christchurch, Poole and Ferndown.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
Heathland protection around the conurbation means many schemes contribute to mitigation for protected heaths, and Poole Harbour has been subject to nutrient neutrality advice. Weymouth, the wider coast and the river valleys add flood and coastal-change checks, while the A31 and A35 corridors link the main towns.
Before we make an offer in Bournemouth
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 126 miles from Bournemouth, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Bournemouth 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.
How quickly can you give a view?
For a small site with a clear plan and photos, we can usually say quickly whether it is worth pursuing and how.
Is Bournemouth too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 126 miles from Bournemouth, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Bournemouth 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.
