What decides the value of landlocked land in the East Riding of Yorkshire
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.
Planning
Access must meet highway standards for the number of homes.
Four routes to a sale
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.
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.

Planning and legal points for land in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.
Awkward details we deal with
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
- 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
Questions from landowners in the East Riding of Yorkshire
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.
Can long use of a track create a right?
Sometimes. Rights can arise through long use in certain circumstances, but it needs legal advice.
Do you buy land in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes. We consider land across the East Riding of Yorkshire, from Kingston upon Hull to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
