Sell a paddock or equestrian land in Bangor

Thinking about whether to sell a paddock or equestrian land in Bangor? A free appraisal tells you what we'd pay and how we got there, with no obligation to go further.

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
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

Land we're keen to see around Bangor

  • Paddocks adjoining village or town housing
  • Small fields of around half an acre to several acres
  • Land behind houses with a shared or private access
  • Pony paddocks no longer needed by the family

If you no longer keep horses, or simply want to release capital, we can look at your paddock and tell you whether it has value beyond grazing.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Gwynedd

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.

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

  2. We do the homework

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

What people ask us about paddock land

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.

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.

Can you visit land near Bangor?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
