Sell landlocked land or land with access problems in Kenilworth
We buy landlocked land across Warwickshire. In Kenilworth, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
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
- No pressure to decide

The things that move our offer
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.
Prescriptive rights
Long use can sometimes create rights, which need legal advice.
Planning
Access must meet highway standards for the number of homes.
Choosing how to sell
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Warwickshire
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
- The address or postcode
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
Common questions
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Kenilworth?
Yes. Villages between Kenilworth, Warwick and Coventry often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
