How we arrive at a figure for land in the Isle of Wight
Position
A paddock next to houses has far more potential than one in open countryside.
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.
Amenity value
Without a planning prospect, neighbours may pay a premium for a paddock adjoining their garden.
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.

Planning and legal points for land in the Isle of Wight
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Farm tenancies
Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies have their own notice and compensation rules, which affect when land can be developed.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
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.
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.
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 cover the villages around Ryde?
Yes. Villages between Ryde, Gosport and Sandown often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
