What we look for in Lincolnshire
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane or road
- Wide side gardens on corner plots
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Gardens with room for access past the existing house
- Gardens where similar plots nearby have gained permission
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.
What decides the value of garden land in Lincolnshire
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.
Combined sites
Several gardens together can be worth more than each sold separately.
Ways to sell this land
A large garden can be a valuable plot. The key questions are access, the effect on your own home and neighbours, and local planning policy on garden development.
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.

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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- 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.
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 buy land in Lincolnshire?
Yes. We consider land across Lincolnshire, from Lincoln to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
