What affects the price

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.

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.

What happens next

  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.

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.

The deeds mention a right of way but it's unclear

Your solicitor will check the wording. Old rights may not cover new homes, and that affects value.

Useful to send us

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

Can you visit land near Dinnington?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
