What makes land without planning permission near Blaenau-Ffestiniog worth an offer

  • Fields and paddocks on the edge of settlements
  • Land with a road frontage or a clear way to create access
  • Land where neighbouring sites have recently gained permission
  • Grazing land with no tenancy or with a tenancy that can be ended

Without consent, land is valued on its current use plus whatever hope value its location supports. We will explain how much of our offer is each, so you can see what you are being paid for.

What affects the price

Local plan position

Land allocated, or close to being allocated, for housing carries far more hope value.

Planning history

Past refusals and appeal decisions on the site and its neighbours shape the odds.

Constraints

Green belt, flood zones, heritage and landscape designations reduce the chance of consent.

Deal structure

Conditional and option deals can pay more because the price is fixed against value with permission.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

Certainty now, at a price that reflects the planning risk we take on.

Subject-to-planning sale

We exchange contracts now and complete once permission is granted.

Option agreements

We pay for the right to buy later and fund the planning work meanwhile.

Joint ventures

You keep a stake and share in the value planning creates.

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.

Green belts and green wedges

England's grey belt rules don't apply in Wales. Planning Policy Wales sets out green belt and green wedge policy, which strongly restricts development.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.

When the land isn't straightforward

A neighbour objects to everything

Objections are weighed against planning policy, not counted. We judge the scheme on policy grounds.

You don't want to wait years

Then an outright sale at a lower, risk-adjusted price may suit you better, and we will say so.

Useful to send us

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

What is hope value?

Hope value is the premium a buyer pays above the current use value because there is a realistic prospect of planning permission. It is higher the more likely and closer that permission is.

What happens if planning is refused?

On a conditional contract or option, if permission is not granted within the agreed period the deal ends and you keep the land. Any option fee paid is usually yours to keep.

Will getting permission myself increase the price?

It can, but applications cost money and carry risk. We can talk through whether it makes sense for you to apply or for us to do it under a contract.

Do you buy land in Blaenau-Ffestiniog?

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