Sell landlocked land or land with access problems in Cardigan

We buy landlocked land across Dyfed. In Cardigan, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

If you own a ransom strip, it may be the key to someone else's development. That can make it far more valuable than its size suggests.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Independent advice encouraged

What we look for around Cardigan

  • Fields surrounded by gardens or other land
  • Land with access only over a farm track or private road
  • 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.

The things that move our offer

Route to a road

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

Existing rights

Rights of way in the deeds may already allow some use, though not necessarily for new homes.

Planning

Access must meet highway standards for the number of homes.

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  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. 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.

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 only route is over a neighbour's land

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

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Cardigan

Can I sell landlocked land?

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

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Cardigan?

Yes. Villages between Cardigan, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
