Sell a paddock or equestrian land in Ebbw Vale
Our interest in paddock land around Ebbw Vale is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.
Paddock land is a small enclosed field used for grazing or keeping horses, often close to houses. Paddocks next to villages and towns can have development potential, which is why they often sell for more than ordinary grazing land.
- No commission: we're the buyer

What affects the price
Access width
Access needs to be wide enough for a road if homes are to be built.
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.
Drainage
Paddocks without mains drainage nearby can be costly to connect.

What Wales's rules mean for your land
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
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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Common questions
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.
Can I keep a strip for my own access?
Yes. Your solicitor can reserve rights or keep land back as part of the sale.
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 Ebbw Vale?
Yes. We consider land in and around Ebbw Vale 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.
