What makes landlocked land near New Malden worth an offer
- Fields surrounded by gardens or other land
- Land with access only over a farm track or private road
- Land with disputed or unclear rights of way
- Backland behind houses with no frontage
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.
What affects the price
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.
Ransom value
Strips controlling access to development land can command a share of its value.
Amenity use
Without access, value may be limited to grazing or adjoining owners.
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.

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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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.

Questions from landowners near New Malden
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.
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.
Do you buy land in New Malden?
Yes. We consider land in and around New Malden 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.
