Rules that apply in Wales
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Farm tenancies
Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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.

Common questions
What is overage?
Overage is a promise in the sale contract that the buyer will pay you more if the land later gains planning permission or is developed. It lets you share in future uplift after a lower price today.
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.
