Sell agricultural land in Reigate
We buy agricultural land across Surrey. In Reigate, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
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.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- No pressure to decide

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.
When the land isn't straightforward
The land is tenanted
We look at the tenancy type and the notice and compensation rules before pricing.
You're in an environmental scheme
Some agreements need to be transferred or ended. We check the terms with you.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
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.
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.
Do you buy land in Reigate?
Yes. We consider land in and around Reigate and across Surrey. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
