Land we're keen to see around Llantwit Major
- Fields adjoining towns, villages or housing estates
- Parcels with direct access to a public road

- Single fields being sold off a larger holding
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.
What affects the price
Location
Distance from the nearest settlement is the biggest single factor in any development premium.
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.
Severance
Selling a field can affect access to, or the value of, the land you keep.
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.

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
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
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
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.
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.
