What decides the value of agricultural land near Risca

Location

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

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.

Ways to sell this land

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about agricultural land

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.
