The English system, as it applies in Alfreton
Land with no planning permission can still be sold. Around Alfreton, the usual routes in England are a direct sale, an option agreement or a promotion agreement, where the planning work is funded for you and the land is sold once consent is granted. Outline planning permission settles the principle, with reserved matters approved later. Section 106 obligations, the Community Infrastructure Levy where charged and biodiversity net gain all affect what a site is worth, so independent advice matters.
If you rent privately in Alfreton, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 now shapes your tenancy: most tenancies run from one rent period to the next, rent can usually only be raised once a year through a formal process, and no-fault evictions have ended. Affordable options in England include Social Rent, Affordable Rent at up to 80% of market rent, and shared ownership. Land to Homes plans homes for sale and rent, and you can register interest now.

Land and homes in Alfreton: questions
Do you pay my legal fees?
On option and promotion agreements, yes. We pay your reasonable legal fees, and the amount is agreed up front in the heads of terms before you instruct a solicitor, so there are no surprises later. On a direct purchase, each side normally pays its own legal costs, and we will explain the position before you commit.
What are heads of terms?
Heads of terms are a short written summary of the main points of a deal, such as the price or price formula, the length of an option or promotion, who pays which costs and any conditions. They are not usually legally binding, but they guide the solicitors who draft the contract. We set out your legal fee cover in them.
Do I need my own solicitor to sell land?
Yes. Every landowner should have their own solicitor on a land sale or agreement, and many also use a land agent or chartered surveyor. On option and promotion agreements with Land to Homes, we pay your reasonable legal fees, with the amount agreed up front in the heads of terms before you instruct anyone.
How do I register interest in a new home?
Tell us your contact details, preferred areas, the type and size of home, whether you want to buy or rent, and your timing. Registering is free, it is not a reservation or an application, and you can ask us to remove your details at any time. We use it to contact you and to understand what people need.
Do you work with landowners in Alfreton?
We do. We work with landowners in Alfreton and elsewhere in Derbyshire, including Swadlincote, Derby and Staveley. Send us a postcode and we will start with a free, no-obligation appraisal of what the land could take.
