FIND YOUR DREAM BUILDING PLOT

Plot Browser.com is a 100% free-to-use plot and property finder, packed with 1,000s of home building opportunities. Here’s a taster of the fantastic self build plots, renovation properties and conversions currently for sale near you

Plot Browser.com is the latest addition to Build It’s series of powerful project tools (www. buildit.co.uk/tools) designed to put you on the path to self build success.

Updated daily, this is your dedicated resource for finding genuine self build land and renovation opportunities. You’ll find 1,000s of plots and properties to view nationwide, and each listing features the site details, photos, guide price and sellers’ contact information – including details such as whether the plot or property is being sold at auction and, if so, when.

Crucially, we’ve done a big part of the plot-hunting job for you: all our plots already have either outline or full planning permission in place, so you won’t have to waste your time looking at duds that might never gain consent to build.

What’s more, we’ve sourced the planning reference for you, so that you can quickly and easily identify the current planning consent on the relevant local authority’s website. This will arm you with a full understanding of the site’s planning history and what’s been permitted, so you can gauge whether the plot can support the kind of house you’d like to create.

The following pages are a sample of the plots, renovations and conversion projects available on PlotBrowser.comthis month.
