Sell agricultural land in Mansfield

For owners of agricultural land in and around Mansfield, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.

Agricultural land is land used, or capable of being used, for farming, including arable fields and grassland. We are most interested in farmland that sits close to towns and villages, where there may be development potential alongside its farming value.

Is your land near Mansfield a good fit?

  • Fields adjoining towns, villages or housing estates
  • Parcels with direct access to a public road
  • Single fields being sold off a larger holding
  • Grassland and arable land of any grade near settlements

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Nottinghamshire

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

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
  • Photos of the land and its access

Your questions answered

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 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.

Do I pay tax when I sell farmland?

Capital gains tax may be due, and reliefs may apply depending on your circumstances. Rules change, so speak to an accountant before you sell.

Can you visit land near Mansfield?

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.
