Sell landlocked land or land with access problems in Warwickshire
We buy landlocked land across Warwickshire, including around Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa. You deal with the buyer directly and there's no commission to pay.
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.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them
- Independent advice encouraged

- Backland behind houses with no frontage
- Land next to a site with planning potential

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.
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.
Ransom value
Strips controlling access to development land can command a share of its value.
Planning
Access must meet highway standards for the number of homes.
Four routes to a sale
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.
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.

We check it properly
Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.
We put an offer in writing
It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.
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.
Awkward details we deal with
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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Common questions
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.
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 Warwickshire?
Yes. We consider land across Warwickshire, from Nuneaton to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
