What we look for around Welshpool

  • Long rear gardens backing onto a lane or road
  • Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
  • Gardens with room for access past the existing house
  • Large gardens of older detached houses

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 near Welshpool

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.

Neighbour amenity

Privacy, light and outlook for neighbours shape what can be built.

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.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Garden land

Councils in Wales judge garden development against their Local Development Plan policies on character and amenity.

Land registration

HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.

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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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.

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.
