Sell, partner or build in Derbyshire
Garden land usually leads to one of two outcomes: money for a plot you don’t need, or a new home that stays in your hands. For the first, we offer direct purchase, sales subject to planning, options, planning promotion, joint ventures and help combining gardens with neighbours across Derbyshire. For the second, our design and build route takes you from feasibility to handover, with a written quote once the design and survey are done.

The planning picture in Derbyshire
Some of the rules that shape a garden plot in Derbyshire are set nationally and differ between England and Wales. Here the key national document is the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), and new homes must meet the Building Regulations. That affects practical matters such as fire engine access (or other measures, often sprinklers, agreed with building control and the fire service where a fire engine can’t get close enough). On drainage you’ll usually need a drainage plan the council will want to see. Land purchases fall under Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), and ecology work has to reflect biodiversity net gain rules. Your local council then adds its own Local Plan policies on design, parking and garden sizes. We work to the right set of rules for every plot.
Planning authorities: Amber Valley Borough Council, Bolsover District Council, Chesterfield Borough Council, Derby City Council, Derbyshire Dales District Council, Erewash Borough Council, High Peak Borough Council, North East Derbyshire District Council, South Derbyshire District Council.

Questions about garden plots in Derbyshire
Can you build a new home in my garden in Derbyshire for me to keep?
Yes. Through our design and build route we survey your plot, design a new home with you, apply for planning and, once permission is granted, build it. You keep the land and the new home, to sell, let or use for family. You get a written quote after design and survey, and any earlier guide price is a guide only.
Do you buy garden plots in Derbyshire?
Yes. We buy suitable garden plots across Derbyshire directly, with or without planning permission, always subject to survey, title and contract. We also offer sales subject to planning, options, planning promotion and joint ventures. Which route fits depends on your plot, so the starting point is a free, no-obligation appraisal.
How much is a garden plot in Derbyshire worth?
It depends on location, size, access, title and, above all, planning. Two similar gardens in the same street can be worth very different amounts if one has easy access and the other doesn’t. We don’t quote figures before we’ve looked at a plot properly; the free appraisal is the way to find out.
Do I need my own solicitor to sell a plot in Derbyshire?
Yes, always. Your solicitor checks the contract, deals with the transfer of part at HM Land Registry and asks your mortgage lender to release the plot if the house is mortgaged. On option and promotion agreements we cover your reasonable legal fees, with the cap agreed in heads of terms before work starts.
