Who is This For?

If you have unwanted garden space, cashing in potential building ground has become an increasingly popular option as a form of raising extra tax-free money.

This can work especially well for the newly retired, who may have weary of gardening but remain attached to their home or for anyone who would like to simply raise some disposable money for personal plans or helping their families.

This includes gardens either to the side of your home or indeed to the rear (providing there is good access).  With the current shortage of homes available, planning guidelines for future construction, oblige the efficient use of building land.

Ideally, your home has frontage to an existing road and with as little as 30 feet to the side of your home, can provide enough land in order to build a new home. However, planning permission is more likely to be given on tighter pieces of gardens especially if existing homes in the street are closely packed.
