Cheap Land for Sale by area

Finding cheap land in the UK

Cheap land usually means small parcels: amenity land, paddocks, woodland and fields of a few acres, often sold by auction or by developers releasing surplus plots. Prices per acre are higher on small plots, so compare the total cost with what you actually need.

Very cheap plots, especially those under £10,000, are often divided-up fields sold on the hope of future planning. Assume there is no planning permission unless the listing proves otherwise.

  • Check access: Make sure there is a legal right of way to the plot, not just a gate.
  • Check planning: Look up the land on the council planning map before you rely on any promised development.
  • Check covenants: Restrictions on the title can stop you fencing, camping or parking caravans.

Check the title and boundaries with HM Land Registry, confirm legal access and rights of way, look at flood risk on the government flood map and ask about services such as water and electricity. A solicitor and, for larger purchases, a land agent or surveyor are worth involving early.

Can I build on land I buy?

Only if planning permission is granted. Most agricultural and amenity land has no automatic right to build a house, so speak to the local planning authority or a planning consultant before you buy if you hope to develop.
