Sell a paddock or equestrian land in Holyhead

Our interest in paddock land around Holyhead 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.

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

What we look for around Holyhead

  • Paddocks adjoining village or town housing
  • Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
  • Pony paddocks no longer needed by the family
  • 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

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.

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.

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.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

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

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

Planning and legal points for land in Gwynedd

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.

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 rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Holyhead

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.

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.

Can you visit land near Holyhead?

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.
