Why buy a building plot in Greater Manchester

Peak District National Park protect a large part of Greater Manchester, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.

45% of Greater Manchester is Green Belt, which keeps the countryside around its towns open. New homes there need special circumstances, so check the designation on any plot before you count on planning.

2,341 people were on Greater Manchester's council self-build registers at October 2024. Councils must grant enough permissions to meet that demand, so registering with your council as well as with us is worth doing.

Planning is decided by 10 councils in Greater Manchester, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
