Sell part of your garden in Caerphilly

Whether your land is in Caerphilly itself or in the villages between Caerphilly and Rhiwbina, 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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Is your land near Caerphilly a good fit?

  • Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
  • Gardens with room for access past the existing house
  • Gardens where similar plots nearby have gained permission
  • Overgrown gardens and orchards no longer used

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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Gwent

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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 rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about garden land

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.

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.
