What affects the price

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.

Choosing how to sell

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
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
