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.
Neighbouring land
A joint scheme with neighbours can unlock value for everyone.
Ransom value
Strips controlling access to development land can command a share of its value.
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
Tell us about your land
Send the postcode or address and a rough size.
We check it properly
Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.
You get a written offer
With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.
Solicitors complete the sale
Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
What people ask us about landlocked land
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 cover the villages around Fulham?
Yes. Villages between Fulham, Chelsea and Putney often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
