Selling land to a developer – types of land

If you’re thinking of selling land for development in Hertfordshire but you’re not sure if your plot is suitable, speak to the Cairnpark Properties team today. As long as the land is legally yours, you can sell it to us either with or without planning permission from your local authority.

We specialise in buying land such as this and resolving any difficult planning problems ourselves after the purchase. If you’re considering selling land to a developer, we consider a wide variety of plots including:

Greenfield sites

This is untouched land which has never been used. In most cases, greenfield land is found on the boundary of a development or within a particularly built up area.

Pooling our considerable expertise and experience, we find innovative solutions to common hurdles such as previous planning refusals and particularly complex projects in sensitive locations like the Green Belt.

The Green Belt is a large greenfield site which covers the majority of Hertfordshire; with strict regulations stating this land must be kept open and undeveloped. Although tricky, it is possible to obtain planning permission for green belt land for an experienced developer.

So even if you are finding it impossible to get consent to build on your land in the Hertfordshire green belt area yourself, by selling land to a developer like Cairnpark, you could still make a considerable profit from your unused Hertfordshire plot.

Brownfield sites

We also purchase brownfield land for our future developments. These are areas that have previously been used for development but have since been abandoned. Derelict and disused areas such as this can be reimagined by a skilled developer; breathing life and purpose back into your land.

If you have an unused plot, selling land for development means it will not go to waste. This could involve splitting underutilised existing buildings into multiple new homes, or simply restoring derelict areas to improve the urban environment. Not only will you may a profit from selling land to a developer, but you can also be sure that your local area will benefit too. If you’re interested in selling land for development and want an idea of the price a buyer will pay for your brownfield land, contact Cairnpark Properties.

Contaminated land

As brownfield sites are those which have previously been developed, it is fairly common for these areas to become contaminated by building materials and other substances.

This is most common in land which may have previously been used as a factory, mine, steel mill, refinery or a landfill, however any brownfield land could be classed as contaminated by your local council.

Where this may cause problems if you wished to develop the land yourself, by selling land to a developer like Cairnpark, they work alongside specialist reclamation companies to remedy the problems and make your land suitable for future development.

With us, your previously contaminated brownfield site could be successfully developed for a huge number of alternative uses, including residential, commercial and retail purposes. That means your unused and underutilised land will go on to profit both you and your local community. If you’re interested in selling land for development but are worried about the price you might achieve for contaminated land, please get in touch.
