What England's rules mean for your land
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

- Any planning applications or letters

Questions from landowners near Felling
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.
Do you buy land in Felling?
Yes. We consider land in and around Felling and across Tyne and Wear. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
