Allocated sites, brownfield plots
and strategic land.
From a single residential plot in a Wolds village to a 12-acre allocated edge-of-settlement site, we appraise honestly, market privately, and complete deals that other agents struggle to close.
The brief
What this service actually involves.
Development land in this part of Yorkshire is shaped by three things: the East Riding Local Plan, the City of York Local Plan, and the appetite of a relatively small group of regional housebuilders. Knowing how each works — and which sites within each settlement boundary are likely to attract serious interest — is most of the job.
We handle the full range: small infill plots in villages around Pocklington and Market Weighton, brownfield sites in the market town centres, allocated edge-of-settlement land, paddock and amenity blocks with development hope, and the occasional strategic land disposal needing an option or promotion agreement. Appraisals are grounded in deliverable numbers — not the figure that flatters a vendor at instruction stage and then disappoints six months later.
Most of our development sales close to a regional housebuilder (Persimmon, Beal, Linden, Mulgrave, Stonebridge, Beechwood) or to a local developer or self-builder. We know who's buying, in which settlements, and at what price-per-plot — so we can match the right site to the right buyer privately rather than running a public process where it isn't warranted.
What we do
Five or six things, done properly.
Single plot and infill sales
Single residential plots in Wolds villages, infill garden land and replacement-dwelling opportunities — sold privately to local self-builders and small developers.
Allocated site disposals
Edge-of-settlement allocated sites sold to regional housebuilders by private treaty, informal tender or targeted approach.
Brownfield and former employment land
Town-centre and edge-of-centre brownfield sites with B-class or residential consent potential — appraised against deliverable end values.
Option and promotion agreements
Strategic land tied up under properly-drafted options or promotion agreements, with overage and uplift terms that protect the long-term position.
Pre-app and planning appraisal
Honest view on what consent is achievable, the likely planning route, Section 106 exposure and CIL liability before you spend money on architects.
Self-build plot disposals
Single self-build plots marketed to a curated regional list — most plots we sell never make it to the major portals.
Local market note · 2026
Serviced residential plots in the Wolds villages typically transact between £85,000 and £160,000 per plot depending on plot size, services and consent status. Allocated sites for 10–40 plots sell to regional housebuilders at £45,000–£75,000 per plot residual, with the headline figure heavily affected by Section 106 and infrastructure costs. Brownfield consent for small apartment schemes in York centre remains tightly fought.
