How we arrive at a figure for land in Gwent

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.

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.

From first call to completion

  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. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Gwent

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.

Land registration

HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.

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.

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.

Useful to send us

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

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.

Do you buy land in Blackwood?

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