Sell part of your garden in Windsor
For owners of garden land in and around Windsor, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.
Garden land is part of a residential garden sold for one or more new homes, often called a backland or garden plot. Long gardens backing onto a lane, or several neighbouring gardens combined, can make good sites if access and neighbours' privacy can be handled well.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No pressure to decide
- Independent advice encouraged

Is your land near Windsor a good fit?

- Wide side gardens on corner plots
- Gardens with room for access past the existing house

A large garden can be a valuable plot. The key questions are access, the effect on your own home and neighbours, and local planning policy on garden development.
How we arrive at a figure for land in Berkshire
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.
Plot size
Value follows the size and type of home the plot can take.
Ways to sell this land
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Berkshire
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
You're worried about losing privacy
We can agree a design that protects your home, and conditions in the contract can set limits.
Your mortgage lender has a charge on the whole property
Your lender needs to agree to release the plot. Your solicitor arranges this.

- A rough size, in acres or hectares

Questions from landowners near Windsor
Can I sell part of my garden?
Yes. Your solicitor will divide the title, and your mortgage lender will need to agree to release the land if it has a charge over it.
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning deal, we do.
Can you build the house while I still live next door?
Yes. Construction rules, working hours and site management keep disruption down, and we'll agree access arrangements with you.
Do you cover the villages around Windsor?
Yes. Villages between Windsor, Slough and Egham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
