Land with no access is harder to sell, but not impossible. Often there's a route that can be negotiated, or a neighbour who benefits from a joint scheme.

The things that move our offer

Route to a road

The cost and likelihood of securing access is the main driver of value.

Ransom value

Strips controlling access to development land can command a share of its value.

Prescriptive rights

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

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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.

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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 Havant?

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