We know who will buy your land before we write to you.
The Land Buyer holds the written requirements of housebuilders. We match land to them, fund the planning at our own risk and pay you on the uplift. The buyer is named in your agreement, not promised later.
What we do
We buy land with development potential. You know the price first. We pay for planning.
Most land is worth what a farmer or a neighbour would pay for it. A small share is worth a great deal more because homes could be built on it. The difference is planning permission, which costs money, time and skill to win. We carry all three. You carry none.
What makes us different is the order we work in. We hold the written requirements of housebuilders and developers: where they want land, how many homes, with or without planning. Your land is checked against those requirements before we ask you for a conversation. So when we say there is a buyer, there is a name behind it. More about how we work.
We read the title and the local plan, the planning history within a hundred metres, the flood maps, the trees, the listed buildings and the access. Then we put the land against the requirements we hold and tell you what we found. No visit, no cost, no commitment.
It means your land already fitted a requirement. What the letter means and how to check us.
What we buy
Fields, paddocks, yards, large gardens and inherited land
A field or paddock
Beside or inside a village, from about half an acre. Grazing, hay, a pony paddock, an awkward corner of a farm.
Part of a garden
A long garden with a way in from the road. Or two or three neighbours' gardens together.
A yard or buildings
A builder's yard, a redundant barn, a former club, a workshop with land round it.
Process
Five steps with the time attached
The dates are what we hold ourselves to. If we are going to be slower we tell you before the date, not after.

Requirements ledger
The buyers we are sourcing for, in public
Every land company says it has buyers. We show ours. Each row is a written requirement we hold. The name and the place are given to a landowner once we have spoken. The shape is public so you can see there is a real buyer behind us.
| Buyer | Wants | Planning | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| A regional housebuilder | Small village sites, 5 to 25 homes | None needed, they fund it | Open |
| A developer | Up to 20 homes | Consented, part built or stalled | Open |
| A development funder | No upper limit | None, off market only | Open |

We write to owners whose land we have already checked against a buyer's requirement. The letter says why. What the letter means and how to check we are who we say.
