Sell landlocked land or land with access problems in Tenby

We consider landlocked land in Tenby and across Dyfed, from sites close to the SA70 postcode district out towards Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven.

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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Is your land near Tenby a good fit?

  • Ransom strips and narrow access plots
  • Land with disputed or unclear rights of way
  • Backland behind houses with no frontage
  • Small strips that control access to larger sites

Land with no access is harder to sell, but not impossible. Often there's a route that can be negotiated, or a neighbour who benefits from a joint scheme.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Dyfed

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. 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.

Planning and legal points for land in Dyfed

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

What is a ransom strip?

A strip of land, sometimes very narrow, that sits between a development site and the road. Whoever owns it can control access and may claim a share of the development value.

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.
