Sell land in Blackpool
We buy land across Lancashire. In Blackpool, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
From Blackpool, it's 4 miles to Thornton-Cleveleys and 6 miles to Lytham St Annes. We buy land across that whole stretch of Lancashire, not only within the town.
- Four ways to sell

Planning and legal points for land in Lancashire
Green belt and grey belt
Green belt land is protected from inappropriate development. National policy in England also recognises 'grey belt': green belt land that doesn't strongly contribute to key green belt purposes, where housing can be acceptable if further tests are met.
Biodiversity net gain
Under the Environment Act 2021, most developments in England must deliver at least a 10% gain in biodiversity. Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

Common questions
Do you buy land in Blackpool?
Yes. We consider land in and around Blackpool and across Lancashire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
How do I get an offer for land in Blackpool?
Use the form on this page or call 0800 088 6248. Tell us the postcode, the rough size and anything you know about planning, and we'll come back to you.
What kinds of land do you buy?
Fields and paddocks near towns and villages, building plots, garden land, brownfield and small commercial sites, garage courts, barns and rural buildings, larger strategic sites, and land with awkward problems such as poor access.
How do I know if my land is development land?
Ask three questions: does it sit next to existing homes, can a car get onto it safely from a public road, and is it outside the worst flood risk? If the answer to all three is yes, it is worth an appraisal. We will tell you honestly if we don't think homes are achievable.
