Sell part of your garden in Fareham

Whether your land is in Fareham itself or in the villages between Fareham and Gosport, 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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them

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.

The things that move our offer

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.

Trees

Protected or large trees can limit the plot.

Plot size

Value follows the size and type of home the plot can take.

Ways to sell this land

Planning and legal points for land in Hampshire

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.

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

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Questions from landowners near Fareham

Can I sell part of my garden?

Yes. Your solicitor will divide the title, and your mortgage lender will need to agree to release the land if it has a charge over it.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Fareham?

Yes. Villages between Fareham, Gosport and Portsmouth often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
