Sell part of your garden in Llanelli
Whether your land is in Llanelli itself or in the villages between Llanelli and Burry Port, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.
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

What we look for around Llanelli
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane or road
- Wide side gardens on corner plots
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Gardens where similar plots nearby have gained permission
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 Dyfed
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.
Four routes to a sale
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 Dyfed
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.
Garden land
Councils in Wales judge garden development against their Local Development Plan policies on character and amenity.
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters

Common questions
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.
What if my neighbour wants to sell too?
Combined sites often work better. We can make offers to both and structure the deal so each owner is treated fairly.
