Sell part of your garden in Bracknell
We buy garden land across Berkshire. In Bracknell, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
Some of the best small sites are two or three long gardens combined. We can talk to you and your neighbours together if that helps.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer

What affects the price
Access
A separate access onto a lane is ideal; access past your house needs enough width.
Policy on garden land
Some councils resist garden development unless it fits the character of the area.
Effect on your house
Losing garden space can affect your home's value, which we take into account with you.
Combined sites
Several gardens together can be worth more than each sold separately.
Choosing how to sell
Outright purchase
Suits garden plots that already have planning permission.
Subject-to-planning sale
The usual route for garden land: we complete when permission is granted.
Option agreements
Useful when several neighbours' gardens are being assembled.
Joint ventures
Possible if you'd like a share of the new home's value.

Rules that apply in England
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.
Garden land
Councils judge garden plots against local plan policies on character, design and neighbours' amenity. The August 2026 revision of national policy adds support for some development on residential curtilage land, within limits.
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
You're worried about losing privacy
We can agree a design that protects your home, and conditions in the contract can set limits.
Neighbours may object
Objections are judged against policy. A careful design reduces genuine impact.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Your questions answered
Will selling part of my garden reduce my home's value?
It can, especially if the garden becomes small or overlooked. We'll talk this through so you can weigh it against the plot price.
Do I need planning permission to sell garden land?
Not to sell it, but planning permission is what gives the land its value, so we usually buy subject to planning.
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning deal, we do.
Do you cover the villages around Bracknell?
Yes. Villages between Bracknell, Crowthorne and Wokingham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
