The things that move our offer
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.
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.
Four routes to a sale
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.
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.
From first call to completion
Tell us about your land
Send the postcode or address and a rough size.
We do the homework
We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.
We put an offer in writing
It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.
The legal work
Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.
Rules that apply in England
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.
Awkward details we deal with
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
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners in Leicestershire
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.
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 buy land in Leicestershire?
Yes. We consider land across Leicestershire, from Leicester to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
