What affects the price

Position

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

Change of use history

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

Neighbours' views

Overlooking and outlook affect what layout a council will accept.

Amenity value

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

Four routes to a sale

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 Greater Manchester

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
  • Your title number, if you know it

What people ask us about paddock land

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 Urmston?

Yes. We consider land in and around Urmston 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.
