What we look for around Hailsham

  • Grazing land with a gate onto a public road
  • Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
  • Land behind houses with a shared or private access
  • Pony paddocks no longer needed by the family

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 East Sussex

Position

A paddock next to houses has far more potential than one in open countryside.

Existing buildings

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

Neighbours' views

Overlooking and outlook affect what layout a council will accept.

Drainage

Paddocks without mains drainage nearby can be costly to connect.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in East Sussex

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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.

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
  • Photos of the land and its access

What people ask us about paddock land

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.

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.
