We produce a monthly updated list of
land that we are aware of in the East Midlands/Nottingham
area. Some of it is has not been widely advertised. Current
resources prevent us from issuing regular mailshots, but we
provide a copy of the list on application and details are
available on the Land
List page.
We are available to answer technical
enquiries during regular office hours. Our extensive experience
working with house alterations, extensions and new builds
means that we can answer most questions immediately. If not,
we usual know where to look. |
