What affects the price
Route to a road
The cost and likelihood of securing access is the main driver of value.
Ransom value
Strips controlling access to development land can command a share of its value.
Prescriptive rights
Long use can sometimes create rights, which need legal advice.
Amenity use
Without access, value may be limited to grazing or adjoining owners.
Four routes to a sale
Outright purchase
At a price that reflects the access risk we take on.
Subject-to-planning sale
We complete once access and permission are secured.
Option agreements
Useful while access is negotiated with neighbours.
Joint ventures
Often the best way to combine landlocked land with the land that gives access.

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.
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
When the land isn't straightforward
The deeds mention a right of way but it's unclear
Your solicitor will check the wording. Old rights may not cover new homes, and that affects value.
You own a strip someone else needs
We'll explain how ransom value is typically assessed so you can negotiate from a sound position.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Photos of the land and its access
Your questions answered
How is a ransom strip valued?
There's no fixed rule. Valuations often refer to a share of the uplift in value the access unlocks. Take advice from a surveyor.
Can long use of a track create a right?
Sometimes. Rights can arise through long use in certain circumstances, but it needs legal advice.
Will you buy land that may never get access?
Possibly, at a price reflecting that risk. We'll tell you honestly.
Do you cover the villages around Rhyl?
Yes. Villages between Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Denbigh often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
