The things that move our offer
Location
Distance from the nearest settlement is the biggest single factor in any development premium.
Rights and schemes
Environmental scheme agreements, wayleaves and rights of way need checking before sale.
Severance
Selling a field can affect access to, or the value of, the land you keep.
Overage
You may be able to keep a share of any future uplift through an overage clause.
Choosing how to sell
Outright purchase
A clean sale at farmland value plus any hope value we can justify.
Subject-to-planning sale

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.
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.
You're in an environmental scheme
Some agreements need to be transferred or ended. We check the terms with you.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
Your questions answered
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.
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.
Can you visit land near Brighouse?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
