What affects the price
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.
Planning prospects
Hope value applies where homes could realistically be built.
Four routes to a sale
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.

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
Common questions
Do you buy farmland with no development potential?
Our interest is mainly in land with some prospect of development. For pure farmland we may still make an offer, but a local land agent selling to farmers may achieve a better price, and we'll tell you if so.
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.
Can you visit land near Redcar?
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.
