Land we're keen to see around Felling

  • Wide side gardens on corner plots
  • Gardens with room for access past the existing house
  • 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.

What affects the price

Policy on garden land

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

Trees

Protected or large trees can limit the plot.

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  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.

Planning and legal points for land in Tyne and Wear

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

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
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

Who pays for the planning application?

On a subject-to-planning deal, we do.

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.

Can you visit land near Felling?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
