Building Plots for Sale

Finding a 'building plot' for sale might be slightly easier than finding building land because by definition the size of the land is usually smaller and planning permission hasn't always been obtained when it is sold.

Building plots usually fall into the category of 'infill' and they very often come up as a result of somebody subdividing their garden and seeking planning permission for additional properties on the site. Though it can never be guaranteed these types of building plots usually have a very high chance of gaining planning permission because, in the midst of the current housing crisis, local councils often look upon such developments favourably - this is particularly the case in the southeast of England where the housing shortage is at its worst.

When looking for a good building plot, access is often one of the most important criteria. Direct road access, visibility and potential access hazards are all issues to consider.

Again there are online resources which provide listings of building plots for sale however these listings are viewed by an enormous number of people and being quick enough to buy that dream plot can be tricky.

Land agents often have building plots for sale but you will need to be aware of any restrictions that could affect planning permission - this is especially relevant in rural areas where the building plot may be subject to agricultural restrictions
