Buying a Plot or Land with the intention of
developing can be one of the most lucrative ways to make money from property.
However, as all types of property development does come with risks associated
so you must ensure you have done your research properly.
There are many types of plots or Lands for sale.
These include woodlands, farmlands, development plots and commercial sites.
Woodlands, Farm and Agricultural lands cannot
usually be developed. They are to be kept in their current usage unless the
laws on planning drastically change.
Greenbelt land, which may include woodlands, can again
be very risky in terms of a development opportunity. There are some companies
who sell prospective development plots with a view to one day obtaining
permission for a residential scheme. This is a long term land investment which
may or may not bear fruit. Bearing this in mind and combining this with the
ease on planning laws, many developers are building residential communities on
Greenbelt land.
Brown belt land has over the years been of great
interest to developers. The term ‘Brown Belt land’ refers to land which has already been built
on, but which is available for regeneration or redevelopment. With the ease of
planning laws over the years, developers have snapped up sites that are
feasible for residential or commercial developments.
Land with or without planning could constitute any
of the above and are popular amongst developers and investors. Finding proposed
sites with planning permission in certain areas of the country is like gold
dust. For example, in London, the South East developers will literally bite
your hand off if you have a site with planning permission in place.
Purchasing land without planning permission in
place is also popular but not as attractive to developers. Here you will have
to do your research and find out if you are able to build on the land by
looking at the location and other schemes within the area. Most local councils
offer a pre-planning advice which will give you guidelines on the possibilities
you may have. They will also have a range of planning application options;
these include pre-planning advice, outline planning and full planning.
Buying a plot of land to
build your dream house has become common with confident property purchasers.
There are a number of benefits that a self build can take advantage of, these
include customising your home to the very last detail, VAT refund on the build
cost and if planned properly a cheaper way to obtain you own home.
