What we look for around Penarth

  • Land with vacant possession, or where tenancies can be ended
  • Single fields being sold off a larger holding
  • Grassland and arable land of any grade near settlements
  • Land with redundant farm buildings or yards

Farmland near a town or village can be worth much more than its farming value suggests. We focus on that kind of land and explain where any premium comes from.

What decides the value of agricultural land near Penarth

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.

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

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.

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 Penarth?

Yes. Villages between Penarth, Dinas Powys and Cardiff often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
