Build Land Sale Self Type

Below we list some of the factors that are to be kept in mind when opting for build land sale self.


There are two build land sale self types for sale in terms of build land sale self - land for sale with planning permission and one without planning permission. Many companies offer land for sale without planning permission in areas of housing shortage, ripe for development and, in some cases, specified by the government to have green belt land built on.

Even though land for sale without planning permission is cheaper, it does carry an element of risk - in terms of self build it might be wise to consider this more of an investment rather than guaranteed building land.

This type of land for sale is often referred to as strategic land. Strategic land for sale is often next to existing development and over time may be considered for development. Once planning permission is gained the value of this land is much greater. Land for sale is also available with planning permission that may range from simple outline planning permission to detailed planning permission. The degree of planning permission is reflected in the price.

Plots for sale available without planning permission can offer a big saving, but there are no guarantees that it will be granted. On other hand, building plots for sale with planning permission can be very expensive. Whatever be the case, locating and buying a building plot for sale, the first step in realizing a self build home, is probably the most important and the toughest as well.
