How we arrive at a figure for land in Wiltshire

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.

Overage

You may be able to keep a share of any future uplift through an overage clause.

Ways to sell this land

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 Wiltshire

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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters

Your questions answered

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.
