Small sites wanted in Hereford
If you own small sites in or around Hereford, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
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.

Small sites we are looking for in Hereford
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Hereford, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. As the county town of Herefordshire, Hereford anchors the area we cover here, along with Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Ledbury.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
Herefordshire is a rural county with the city of Hereford, the market towns of Leominster, Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury, and many small villages and hamlets. There is no Green Belt, but the Wye Valley and Malvern Hills National Landscapes cover parts of the county. Phosphate pollution in the River Wye and its tributary the Lugg has been a major barrier to new housing, so drainage and nutrient mitigation are often central to whether a site can proceed.
What decides whether a site in Hereford works
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
BNG (England)
From 6 August 2026 non-major sites of 0.2 ha or less are generally exempt from mandatory BNG unless priority habitat is affected.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 48 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
