What we look for around Ruthin

  • Fields surrounded by gardens or other land
  • Backland behind houses with no frontage
  • Land next to a site with planning potential
  • Small strips that control access to larger sites

We look at the title plans for your land and its neighbours to find the realistic ways in, then price the land on that basis.

What affects the price

Route to a road

The cost and likelihood of securing access is the main driver of value.

Neighbouring land

A joint scheme with neighbours can unlock value for everyone.

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.

Choosing how to sell

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.

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. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Rules that apply in Wales

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

The only route is over a neighbour's land

We can approach the neighbour about a joint scheme or an access agreement.

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

Can I sell landlocked land?

Yes, though usually at a lower price unless access can be secured. Neighbours are often the most natural buyers.

Does a right of way allow access for new homes?

Not always. A right of way granted for agricultural use may not cover residential traffic. Your solicitor will check.

Can long use of a track create a right?

Sometimes. Rights can arise through long use in certain circumstances, but it needs legal advice.

Can you visit land near Ruthin?

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.
