What Wales's rules mean for your land

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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

What people ask us about agricultural land

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.

Can you visit land near Ebbw Vale?

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.
