What we look for around Lichfield

  • Parcels with direct access to a public road
  • Grassland and arable land of any grade near settlements
  • Land with redundant farm buildings or yards
  • Holdings where the family is considering succession or retirement

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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Staffordshire

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.

Ways to sell this land

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Staffordshire

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters

What people ask us about agricultural land

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.

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.

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.
