How we arrive at a figure for land in Lancashire
Policy on garden land
Some councils resist garden development unless it fits the character of the area.
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.
Plot size
Value follows the size and type of home the plot can take.
Four routes to a sale

The legal work

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
What people ask us about garden land
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.
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.
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 buy land in Thornton-Cleveleys?
Yes. We consider land in and around Thornton-Cleveleys and across Lancashire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
