Sell agricultural land in Pontarddulais
Selling agricultural land near Pontarddulais doesn't have to start with an agent and a marketing campaign. You can talk to a buyer first and still take independent advice before you decide.
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.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them

What Wales's rules mean for your land
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
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.

What people ask us about agricultural land
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.
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.
