Sell a paddock or equestrian land in Heavitree

For owners of paddock land in and around Heavitree, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.

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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

What makes paddock land near Heavitree worth an offer

  • Paddocks adjoining village or town housing
  • Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
  • Land behind houses with a shared or private access
  • Pony paddocks no longer needed by the family

We buy paddocks as they are, including field shelters, stables and fencing, and explain clearly whether our offer reflects grazing value, hope value or both.

The things that move our offer

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.

Change of use history

Equestrian use may already have needed planning permission; we check the record.

Drainage

Paddocks without mains drainage nearby can be costly to connect.

Ways to sell this land

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 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.

Planning and legal points for land in Devon

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.

A neighbour has used the field informally

Long informal use can raise questions about rights. Your solicitor will check this early.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters

Your questions answered

Do I need planning permission to sell a paddock?

No. You can sell it as it is. Permission only matters to the value and the type of deal.

Will you buy the stables too?

Yes. We buy the whole site as it stands, including buildings and fencing, unless you'd like to keep something.

What if the paddock is landlocked?

Landlocked paddocks are worth less, but can still be valuable to an adjoining owner or as part of a wider scheme.

Do you buy land in Heavitree?

Yes. We consider land in and around Heavitree and across Devon. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
