The things that move our offer
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.
Trees
Protected or large trees can limit the plot.
Combined sites
Several gardens together can be worth more than each sold separately.
Ways to sell this land

Suits garden plots that already have planning permission.
Subject-to-planning sale
The usual route for garden land: we complete when permission is granted.

Planning and legal points for land in Gwynedd
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
Your mortgage lender has a charge on the whole property
Your lender needs to agree to release the plot. Your solicitor arranges this.
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
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
What people ask us about garden land
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.
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 Holyhead?
Yes. Villages between Holyhead, Llangefni and Caernarfon often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
