Sell part of your garden in Llantwit Major

We buy garden land across South Glamorgan. In Llantwit Major, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

Garden land is part of a residential garden sold for one or more new homes, often called a backland or garden plot. Long gardens backing onto a lane, or several neighbouring gardens combined, can make good sites if access and neighbours' privacy can be handled well.

  • No commission: we're the buyer

What we look for around Llantwit Major

  • Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
  • Large gardens of older detached houses
  • Gardens where similar plots nearby have gained permission
  • Overgrown gardens and orchards no longer used

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.

The things that move our offer

Access

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

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.

Trees

Protected or large trees can limit the plot.

Choosing how to sell

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. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Questions from landowners near Llantwit Major

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Llantwit Major?

Yes. Villages between Llantwit Major, Bridgend and Barry often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
