Without access, value may be limited to grazing or adjoining owners.

What England's rules mean for your land
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.

What people ask us about landlocked land
Can I sell landlocked land?
Yes, though usually at a lower price unless access can be secured. Neighbours are often the most natural buyers.
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Feltham?
Yes. Villages between Feltham, Hanworth and Ashford, Surrey often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
