The things that move our offer
Neighbour amenity
Privacy, light and outlook for neighbours shape what can be built.
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
Send us the address
A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.
We check it properly
Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.
We put an offer in writing
It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.
The legal work
Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.
What England's rules mean for your land
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.
Awkward details we deal with
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
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Wolverhampton
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.
