Land we're keen to see around Gelligaer

  • Paddocks adjoining village or town housing
  • Small fields of around half an acre to several acres
  • Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
  • Equestrian yards with buildings that could be redeveloped

Paddocks often sit right on the edge of villages, which can make them some of the most interesting small sites for new homes.

What affects the price

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.

Neighbours' views

Overlooking and outlook affect what layout a council will accept.

Drainage

Paddocks without mains drainage nearby can be costly to connect.

Choosing how to sell

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 Wales

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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 rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Gelligaer

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.

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 cover the villages around Gelligaer?

Yes. Villages between Gelligaer, Blackwood and Pontypridd often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
