Land we're keen to see around Neath

  • 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
  • Holdings where the family is considering succession or retirement

Whether you are retiring, restructuring or releasing a parcel to fund the rest of the farm, we can look at a single field or a larger block.

The things that move our offer

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.

Severance

Selling a field can affect access to, or the value of, the land you keep.

Planning prospects

Hope value applies where homes could realistically be built.

Choosing how to sell

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 West Glamorgan

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

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.

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.

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.
