Sell part of your garden in Pwllheli

Our interest in garden land around Pwllheli is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.

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.

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.

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 rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Pwllheli

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.

Who pays for the planning application?

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

Do you cover the villages around Pwllheli?

Yes. Villages between Pwllheli, Caernarfon and Blaenau-Ffestiniog often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
