How we arrive at a figure for land in Derbyshire
Agricultural value
Soil quality, size and access set the farming value that underpins any offer.
Tenancies
Land let under an Agricultural Holdings Act tenancy or a farm business tenancy is worth less until vacant possession can be had.
Rights and schemes
Environmental scheme agreements, wayleaves and rights of way need checking before sale.
Overage
You may be able to keep a share of any future uplift through an overage clause.
Choosing how to sell
Outright purchase
A clean sale at farmland value plus any hope value we can justify.
Subject-to-planning sale
Higher price paid when permission is granted on the field.
Option agreements

Joint ventures

Rules that apply in England
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Farm tenancies
Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies have their own notice and compensation rules, which affect when land can be developed.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.
Awkward details we deal with
The land is tenanted
We look at the tenancy type and the notice and compensation rules before pricing.
You're in an environmental scheme
Some agreements need to be transferred or ended. We check the terms with you.

- Your title number, if you know it

Your questions answered
Can I sell just one field?
Yes. Selling part of a holding is common. Your solicitor will make sure access, drainage and services for the remaining land are protected.
What about the tenant?
Tenanted land can be sold, but the tenant's rights continue. Ending a tenancy follows statutory rules, so we assess this at the start.
How quickly can you buy farmland?
With clear title and vacant possession, a straightforward sale can move at the pace of the legal work. Tenancies and unregistered titles take longer.
Do you cover the villages around Staveley?
Yes. Villages between Staveley, Chesterfield and Dronfield often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
