Sell part of your garden in Haverhill
We buy garden land across Suffolk. In Haverhill, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
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.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them

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

Planning and legal points for land in Suffolk
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Your questions answered
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.
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.
Do you buy land in Haverhill?
Yes. We consider land in and around Haverhill and across Suffolk. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
