Is your land near Newport, Isle of Wight 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

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.

Effect on your house

Losing garden space can affect your home's value, which we take into account with you.

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.

Choosing how to sell

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.

Planning and legal points for land in the Isle of Wight

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

You're worried about losing privacy

We can agree a design that protects your home, and conditions in the contract can set limits.

Your mortgage lender has a charge on the whole property

Your lender needs to agree to release the plot. Your solicitor arranges this.

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

Common questions

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.

Do you cover the villages around Newport, Isle of Wight?

Yes. Villages between Newport, Isle of Wight, Cowes and Ryde often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
