What we look for around East Dereham

  • Long rear gardens backing onto a lane or road
  • Wide side gardens on corner plots
  • Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
  • Large gardens of older detached houses

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.

What affects the price

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.

Plot size

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

Four routes to a sale

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.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Norfolk

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
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

Will selling part of my garden reduce my home's value?

It can, especially if the garden becomes small or overlooked. We'll talk this through so you can weigh it against the plot price.

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.

Can you visit land near East Dereham?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
