Land we're keen to see around Blackwood

  • Parcels with direct access to a public road
  • Land with vacant possession, or where tenancies can be ended
  • Land with redundant farm buildings or yards
  • Holdings where the family is considering succession or retirement

Whether you are retiring, restructuring or releasing a parcel to fund the rest of the farm, we can look at a single field or a larger block.

What affects the price

Location

Distance from the nearest settlement is the biggest single factor in any development premium.

Agricultural value

Soil quality, size and access set the farming value that underpins any offer.

Rights and schemes

Environmental scheme agreements, wayleaves and rights of way need checking before sale.

Severance

Selling a field can affect access to, or the value of, the land you keep.

Ways to sell this land

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

Common for edge-of-town farmland promoted through the local plan.

Joint ventures

Lets farming families share in development over time.

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Gwent

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

You're in an environmental scheme

Some agreements need to be transferred or ended. We check the terms with you.

Selling one field affects the rest of the farm

Rights of access and services can be reserved so the rest of the holding is protected.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters

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.

Can you visit land near Blackwood?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
