How we arrive at a figure for land in Hampshire

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.

Prescriptive rights

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

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

  1. Send us the address

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

  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.

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

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.
