What we look for around Urmston

  • Long rear gardens backing onto a lane or road
  • Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
  • Gardens with room for access past the existing house
  • 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.

What decides the value of garden land near Urmston

Access

A separate access onto a lane is ideal; access past your house needs enough width.

Effect on your house

Losing garden space can affect your home's value, which we take into account with you.

Neighbour amenity

Privacy, light and outlook for neighbours shape what can be built.

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.

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.

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • 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.

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.

Who pays for the planning application?

On a subject-to-planning deal, we do.
