- Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
- Land behind houses with a shared or private access

What decides the value of paddock land in Greater London
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
Paddocks often sit right on the edge of villages, which can make them some of the most interesting small sites for new homes.
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.

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.
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
Questions from landowners in Greater London
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.
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.
Do you buy land in Greater London?
Yes. We consider land across Greater London, from central London to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
