Sell landlocked land or land with access problems in Enfield Town

Whether your land is in Enfield Town itself or in the villages between Enfield Town and Edmonton, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.

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.

Is your land near Enfield Town 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

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.

Prescriptive rights

Long use can sometimes create rights, which need legal advice.

Planning

Access must meet highway standards for the number of homes.

Ways to sell this land

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 check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  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 Greater London

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

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.

Will you buy land that may never get access?

Possibly, at a price reflecting that risk. We'll tell you honestly.

Do you buy land in Enfield Town?

Yes. We consider land in and around Enfield Town and across Greater London. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
