Working with Landowners

Landowners are a cornerstone of the self-build ecosystem we're nurturing at Livedin. By collaborating closely with them, we create mutually beneficial opportunities that empower individuals and families to build their own homes while maximising land value and community enrichment.

Building Trust and Vision

We start each partnership by understanding the landowner's long-term objectives, whether that's generating income, enhancing community ties, or leaving a legacy of environmentally conscious development. Through transparent agreements and open dialogue, we build trust, ensuring both parties share a vision for the land's future potential.

Securing Planning Permission

One of our key offerings is navigating the planning permission process. Our team researches local regulations, performs feasibility studies, and crafts compelling applications that emphasise the benefits of self-build developments—like increased housing diversity, community-focused living, and smaller ecological footprints. This collaboration:

• Streamlines the planning journey for landowners
• Enhances the likelihood of obtaining permissions
• Sets clear expectations for the scope of each build

Promoting Plots to the Community

Once planning permission is secured, we market individual plots directly to Livedin's community of self-build enthusiasts. Our platforms and events showcase the site's unique features and highlight potential design options. By connecting landowners with motivated self-builders, we create a direct, efficient sales pathway that can often yield higher returns than selling in bulk to a traditional developer.

Shared Success, Shared Values

Throughout the process, we ensure that:

• Landowners benefit from expert assistance, time savings, and transparent financial arrangements
• Self-builders gain access to properly vetted, pre-approved plots that are suited for creative, eco-friendly designs
• Communities experience well-planned, people-centric development that reflects local character

This collaborative model underpins our belief in shared success—everyone involved in a self-build project should walk away feeling supported, satisfied, and inspired by the journey they undertook together.
