Sell a paddock or equestrian land in Chalfont St Peter

If you own paddock land near Chalfont St Peter, we can usually tell you quite quickly whether it suits us, and if it doesn't, we'll say why.

Paddock land is a small enclosed field used for grazing or keeping horses, often close to houses. Paddocks next to villages and towns can have development potential, which is why they often sell for more than ordinary grazing land.

What we look for around Chalfont St Peter

  • Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
  • Land behind houses with a shared or private access
  • Pony paddocks no longer needed by the family
  • Equestrian yards with buildings that could be redeveloped

If you no longer keep horses, or simply want to release capital, we can look at your paddock and tell you whether it has value beyond grazing.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Buckinghamshire

Access width

Access needs to be wide enough for a road if homes are to be built.

Existing buildings

Stables and hardstanding may count as previously developed land in some cases.

Drainage

Paddocks without mains drainage nearby can be costly to connect.

Amenity value

Without a planning prospect, neighbours may pay a premium for a paddock adjoining their garden.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

A clean sale reflecting grazing and any hope value.

Subject-to-planning sale

We complete once homes are approved on the paddock.

Option agreements

Useful where the paddock could form part of a wider site.

Joint ventures

Suits owners of larger equestrian yards with redevelopment potential.

How a sale works

  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.

Planning and legal points for land in Buckinghamshire

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.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies have their own notice and compensation rules, which affect when land can be developed.

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 access is a narrow track

We measure what's there and see if it can be widened or combined with neighbouring land.

You still keep horses on part of it

We can look at buying part of the land and leaving you the rest, with access protected.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Common questions

Is my paddock worth more than agricultural land?

Often, because paddocks are close to houses. How much more depends on access, planning policy and whether homes could realistically be built.

Can I keep a strip for my own access?

Yes. Your solicitor can reserve rights or keep land back as part of the sale.

How long does a paddock sale take?

If the title is registered and there are no disputes, the legal work is usually the main timescale.

Do you cover the villages around Chalfont St Peter?

Yes. Villages between Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross and Rickmansworth often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
