Guide to Buying Land

Are you a developer looking to buy land in West Sussex, East Sussex or Surrey?

Whether you want the land to build a new property on or are looking to find suitable land with an existing property to redevelop, it’s important to know what you’re looking for to ensure you make a sound investment.

For all land purchases, we encourage buyers to think carefully about the following four main factors:

• Land purpose - What do you want to do with the land you want to buy?
• Land use – What type of land is suitable for your plans?
• Budget – Is your budget big enough to cover the building, legal and survey costs, plus any unforeseen expenses and the cost of the land itself?
• Re-sale – Will your project be profitable in the long run?

Location, size, proximity to transport links and existing planning permission…

These are just a few factors that influence the cost of a plot of land. Are you confident that you can get planning permission for your project?

Our expert Land agents can advise you on all matters related to buying land in Horsham and Haywards Heath and the surrounding area.

Land sold with existing planning permission will always be more expensive than land sold without, but the emotional security gained from knowing you can build according to your plans often far outweighs the extra cost.
