Your land could be worth far more than you think.
We're Davis Brothers Developments, a small family business in Kent. We buy land with the potential for a few new homes. You keep your home, we cover the costs, and you only sell if planning permission is granted.
Artist's impression, for illustration only
What's in it for you
No cost, no risk, and nothing changes until you're happy.
A substantial lump sum
For land you may hardly use, often worth far more than it adds to your home's value.
You keep your home
And a good-sized garden. Nothing changes for you until a sale completes.
No cost to you
We pay for architects, surveys and the planning application, and contribute to your legal fees.
No risk
You only sell if planning permission is granted, at a price agreed with you up front.
How it works
A friendly chat
Call, email or fill in the form. We'll talk about your land and what you'd like.
Free assessment
We look at the site, local planning rules and recent approvals, then give you an honest view of its potential.
Agree terms
If you're happy, we agree a price up front. Your own solicitor checks everything, with a contribution from us.
We get planning
We handle the whole application at our cost. You're paid when the sale completes after permission is granted.
The land we're looking for
Across Kent, Essex and the South East, typically room for 2 to 9 new homes.
- Large or long back gardens
- Side and corner plots
- Paddocks and land next to houses
- Neighbouring gardens that could go together
- Older houses on big plots

Common questions
Do I have to sell my house?
No. In most cases we only buy part of the land, and you stay in your home.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. We pay for the planning work and contribute to your legal fees.
What if planning is refused?
You keep your land and owe us nothing. The risk is ours.
How long does it take?
[TYPICAL TIMESCALE, e.g. 6 to 18 months depending on the council]
Will my neighbours know?
Everything stays confidential until a planning application is made, and we'll talk to you before that happens.
Why did you write to me?
We look for land near places where the council has recently approved new homes. Your property's size and position suggested it might have similar potential.
How much could I get?
It depends on the size of the land, the area and how many homes it could take. After a free assessment, we'll give you a figure and explain how we got there.
How is the agreement set up?
Usually as an option agreement. You agree to sell at a set price if planning is granted, within a fixed period. If it isn't granted in that time, the agreement ends and the land stays yours.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. Nothing is binding until you've signed an agreement on your own solicitor's advice. Until then, you can walk away at any point.
Do I need my own solicitor?
Yes, and we contribute to the cost, so you have independent advice throughout.
What if I have a mortgage?
That's common. Your lender will usually need to agree to part of the land being sold, and we'll help you through it.
How will it affect my home?
We design around you. Before applying, we agree access, boundaries, fencing and planting with you, so you keep your privacy and a good-sized garden.
I'm not ready now. Can I contact you later?
Of course. Many people get in touch a year or two later. Keep our letter, or save this page.
