Can you just build on land?
Before you start searching for land, it’s important to remember that it’s not quite as straightforward as finding a plot and simply building on it. Yes, anyone can buy land to build on in the UK, but the challenging part can be getting planning permission. This is a vital stage and one that should not be overlooked. It’s here, that contacting the team of experts at Keenan Project Designs, can prove totally priceless. Getting Keenan involved during those initial steps can help avoid disappointment at a later stage, plus their strong connections with private consultants, estate agents and surveyors can relieve any unwanted pressures you might be feeling. After all, however big or small your development property is, you are likely to be investing in it, both financially and with your time. The more you can outsource to guarantee a smoother development journey, the better.

Explore housing sites
Once you’ve set your heart on finding a piece of land, get on the internet. Explore sale portals, just like Rightmove, who list thousands of buildable plots.
You might strike lucky and find a vacant plot on these sites, however, never overlook current properties with land available for development, or those that could be demolished and replaced with your dream home. Current houses like these can also be found at auctions, so it wouldn’t hurt to pay the auction house a visit too.
Get to know the area
Whether you’re visiting the location you’re interested in or taking the time to study Google Maps, be sure to get to know the area you’re wanting to develop in. You might find gaps and disguised plots, just waiting to be built upon.
Be prepared to be flexible, speak to friends and family to see if they know of any suitable plots but most of all be patient. Finding land for development doesn’t happen overnight, so don’t rush it.
