What is PlotSearch?

PlotSearch is the UK’s largest single source of available land and properties to convert or renovate specifically designed for self builders, renovators and small-scale property developers. If there's a plot of land, conversion or renovation for sale, we'll do our best to find and list it. We also locate larger plots of land with planning and divide them into individual self build plots.

More choice.

Over 6,000 plots, conversion and renovation opportunities throughout the UK. PlotSearch lists over 6,000 plots, conversion and renovation opportunities throughout the UK – with Outline or Detailed Planning Permission [OPP / DPP]

What’s in a detailed plot report?

There are aerial, area and street maps of the project showing its location and surroundings. Most plot details also include a picture of the opportunity. See an example of a detailed report

PlotShare

PlotSearch also lists development opportunities which have planning permission to build more than one house on a single site.
In the past these plot opportunities would have been out of reach of the self builder as they appear too large or too expensive. PlotShare now gives you more opportunities to find a plot in the location you want to live, individual self builders can come together to share a single, larger site. The whole process is facilitated by the PlotSearch team. More information about PlotShare
