How the rules work in Yeovil
In England, most planning applications for new homes in Yeovil are decided by the local planning authority, usually the council, using its Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework. Many landowners sell without planning, either outright or through an option or promotion agreement that funds the application first. Land to Homes offers a free site appraisal, pays your reasonable legal fees on option and promotion agreements, and can buy suitable sites directly, subject to survey, title and contract.
Affordable homes in Yeovil are usually funded through a mix of Section 106 contributions from market schemes and grant from Homes England's Social and Affordable Homes Programme 2026 to 2036, or from the Greater London Authority in London. Registered providers, regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing, own and manage most of them. Land to Homes can bring forward land and build homes for councils and housing associations, including homes for Social Rent.

Questions about Land and homes in Yeovil
Will I have to pay anything upfront?
Not on a promotion agreement. We fund the planning work, and those costs are only recovered from the sale proceeds if the land sells with planning permission. You will still need your own solicitor, but on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees, with the amount agreed in the heads of terms.
What should I check before reserving any new-build home?
Check the specification, the tenure and any lease terms, estate or service charges for unadopted roads and open space, the warranty provider, the reservation terms and whether the developer is registered with the New Homes Quality Board. Instruct your own solicitor early, visit the site if you can and ask for everything important in writing.
Do you have any new homes for sale or rent?
Not yet. Land to Homes is a new venture and has no homes, plots or developments for sale or rent at the moment. You can register interest with the area and type of home you want, and we will contact you if we bring forward homes that match. We do not take reservations, fees or deposits at this stage.
How is the price of development land worked out?
Development land is usually valued by working back from what the finished homes would be worth, then deducting build costs, infrastructure, planning obligations such as affordable housing, fees, finance and a developer's margin. This is called a residual valuation. We do not quote land values online; our free appraisal explains the factors that affect your site.
Do you work with landowners in Yeovil?
We do. We work with landowners in Yeovil and elsewhere in Somerset, including Burnham-on-Sea, Weston-super-Mare and Bridgwater. Send us a postcode and we will start with a free, no-obligation appraisal of what the land could take.
