Small sites wanted in Nottingham
We want to hear from owners of small sites in Nottingham. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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 Nottingham
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Nottingham, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. Nottingham is the county town of Nottinghamshire. Nearby places we also cover include West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
Nottinghamshire covers the city of Nottingham and suburbs such as Arnold, West Bridgford and Hucknall, the former mining towns of Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and Worksop, Retford and Newark-on-Trent. Green Belt surrounds the Nottingham conurbation, while the north of the county, around Worksop and Retford, has none. Typical sites include former colliery and industrial land, edge-of-town fields, farm buildings and infill plots in villages.
Checks we make on small sites in Nottingham
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.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 42 miles from Nottingham, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Nottinghamshire
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Nottingham 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Nottingham?
As Nottingham is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
