Selling one or two fields off a holding is common. We check access, tenancies and the effect on the rest of your land before making an offer.
The things that move our offer
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.
Tenancies
Land let under an Agricultural Holdings Act tenancy or a farm business tenancy is worth less until vacant possession can be had.
Overage
You may be able to keep a share of any future uplift through an overage clause.
Choosing how to sell
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.
How a sale works
Send us the address
A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.
We do the homework
We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.
We put an offer in writing
It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.
The legal work
Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.
Rules that apply in England
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.
Awkward details we deal with
The land is tenanted
We look at the tenancy type and the notice and compensation rules before pricing.
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
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Darras Hall?
Yes. Villages between Darras Hall, Ponteland and Newburn often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
