Selling the end of your garden lets you stay in your home and release capital. We'll tell you whether a plot is realistic before you spend anything.
What affects the price
Access
A separate access onto a lane is ideal; access past your house needs enough width.
Neighbour amenity
Privacy, light and outlook for neighbours shape what can be built.
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Gwent
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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
Questions from landowners in Gwent
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.
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 buy land in Gwent?
Yes. We consider land across Gwent, from Newport to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
