A message from our founder.

“Owning land that you don’t use comes with a host of potential problems. There are often maintenance issues, legal liabilities, regular fees to pay and more.

Unfortunately, many people who own land they no longer need let it sit there, unused. I understand this: it can be hard to let go of land, especially if it’s been in the family for some time.

It can also be difficult to know what to do with it or determine its true market value.

That’s why selling to a recognised land buyer like Tudorgate Homes makes sense. We’ll let you know what it’s worth, and if we’re interested in buying it we will let you know how we intend to develop it, too.

We’ll also take care of all the paperwork – freeing you from all of the responsibilities and expenses that come with owning it.

In return, you’ll get a market-leading price when you sell land to us – and you’ll be helping to ease the UK’s housing shortage problem, too. We’re interested in:

  • Land that can accommodate anything from one home to larger multi-unit sites for houses, apartments and commercial development.
  • Brownfield or greenfield sites.
  • Urban and rural locations.
  • With or without planning permission.

Additionally, we can work with landowners in a variety of different ways, such as buying subject to planning permission or unconditionally, embarking on a joint venture or settling on an option agreement.

Tudorgate Homes is based in Evesham, and we work on property development projects throughout the West Midlands. If you’d like to sell land to us, please get in touch today.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Very often we are – but, as land buyers, we have certain boxes that prospective plots need to tick.

Based in Evesham, we buy land in Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Herefordshire. We buy land in Birmingham, too, though as with all parcels of land that we make an offer on, it needs to be big enough for at least one dwelling.

We need to be able to see value in a potential development project before buying land – some sites are better suited to new homes than others.

Other factors that help us decide include:

  • The local area: does the location have an enviable reputation – the first indication that we may get a favourable response from prospective buyers once the development is finished?
  • Is there good access? Land that is tucked away in a tight corner between multiple homes can be challenging to work with. Access also extends to a parcel of land’s proximity to infrastructure and services: property owners typically want homes close to existing roads – though there are exceptions.
  • Do we feel we will quickly be able to secure planning permission?
  • Who is selling the land? If an estate agent or land agent is involved, for example, this can often affect the process.

The easiest way to find out if we might be interested is to fill in our contact form or give us a call.

If the land has planning permission, then land purchasing is similar to the process of buying a house. However, there are things called ‘options’ and ‘conditional contracts’ that differ from a house purchase.

For more information about our approach to land buying, get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to explain the whole process of how you sell land.

Absolutely – please try us. Most of the land we buy does not already have planning permission. Planning legislation can be complex and time-consuming, which is why people often prefer to sell land to us rather than develop it themselves.

There is a term known as ‘residual land value’ – this basically means the value of the land after all costs. The land value is worked out by taking your GDV (gross development value) minus build costs minus legal costs = residual land value.

Another key element is what we call ‘development potential’, which is more subjective. We do, however, aim to be as honest and fair as possible with every offer we make.

This varies from case to case. You could be liable for capital gains tax: your solicitor will be able to advise you further prior to selling. They will also be able to give you other valuable insight about the land buying process from a tax/financial point of view.

Yes. Much like selling a house, upon completion of selling land the outstanding debt will be settled by the solicitors handling the transaction, and you will receive the remaining funds.

If you have land that you owe on and are considering selling, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. As experienced property developers, we are familiar with land deals of all shapes and sizes.

Yes, you can. As with selling land you owe on (and much like selling a house), upon completion of selling land the outstanding lien debt will be settled by the solicitors that have been dealing with your transaction, and you will receive the remaining funds.

We are experienced land buyers of all kinds, so if you have land that has a lien on it and are interested in selling, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

When we purchase land, the process can take anywhere from three months to several years. If the land already has planning permission in place, then the process is relatively straightforward and quick.

If the land doesn’t have planning permission and we pursue an option agreement, this will take more time due to the plans needing to be submitted to the local planning authority for approval.

This could be a classic ‘how long is a piece of string’ scenario, but we always give landowners regular updates throughout the process.

An option agreement is a legal agreement between a landowner and developer that allows the developer to try and gain planning permission.

The agreement protects the developer from the landowner selling the land whilst the viability studies and planning applications are undertaken. There is normally a three- or five-year timescale upon exercising the option.
