Land we're keen to see around Aston

  • Long rear gardens backing onto a lane or road
  • Wide side gardens on corner plots
  • Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
  • 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

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.

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. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in the West Midlands

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

You're worried about losing privacy

We can agree a design that protects your home, and conditions in the contract can set limits.

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
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters

What people ask us about garden land

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.

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.

Do you buy land in Aston?

Yes. We consider land in and around Aston and across the West Midlands. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
