Selling development sites and building plots across Oxfordshire
We are actively seeking land to sell with planning consent or development potential in and around Oxfordshire. We maintain an extensive database of national, regional and local developers actively searching for new development opportunities which puts us in a good position to achieve the best possible price for your land.
If you have land with planning consent or believe you may have a potential development site or building plot please get in touch with our Land & Development team and we will be pleased to advise you on its likely development potential and value.
Development Potential
Whether a vacant site, field or paddock or surplus garden we have developers seeking “Subject to Planning” opportunities either by way of Conditional Contracts or Option Agreements.
Planning Consent
Developers are constantly looking to buy sites with planning consent and we can advise you on the value of your land and ensure you get the best price for it.
Development Potential
Even if your land is unlikely to achieve planning consent in the short term we can advise you on the right terms and conditions for agreeing a longer term Option or Promotional Agreement with a Developer or Land Promoter.
Experience where it counts
Our experienced team at Thomas Merrifield offer valuation and marketing advice on all types and sizes of residential land and development sites, from single building plots and barn conversions to major housing developments.
We are well-placed to offer general and impartial planning advice, working closely with trusted contacts in the fields of planning and architecture to make sure we maximise the potential of your land.
“Experience innovation and expertise with Thomas Merrifield. Unlock the full potential of your land today.”
“We can’t recommend Thomas Merrifield highly enough. We invited them to carry out a valuation of our property and we had no idea of the development potential it possessed.
We decided to explore the planning and Thomas Merrifield guided us every step of the way through to a successful planning consent. When the consent was granted, we decided to sell and were delighted with the price we achieved.”
