What we look for around Tyldesley

  • Small fields of around half an acre to several acres
  • 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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Greater Manchester

Position

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

Neighbours' views

Overlooking and outlook affect what layout a council will accept.

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.

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.

What happens next

  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.

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
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • 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 Tyldesley?

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