Land we're keen to see around Brackley

  • Long rear gardens backing onto a lane or road
  • Wide side gardens on corner plots
  • Gardens with room for access past the existing house
  • Gardens where similar plots nearby have gained permission

Selling the end of your garden lets you stay in your home and release capital. We'll tell you whether a plot is realistic before you spend anything.

What affects the price

Access

A separate access onto a lane is ideal; access past your house needs enough width.

Policy on garden land

Some councils resist garden development unless it fits the character of the area.

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.

Ways to sell this land

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

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.

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.
