What we look for around Leyland
- Paddocks adjoining village or town housing
- Grazing land with a gate onto a public road
- Small fields of around half an acre to several acres
- Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
We buy paddocks as they are, including field shelters, stables and fencing, and explain clearly whether our offer reflects grazing value, hope value or both.
The things that move our offer
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.
Amenity value
Without a planning prospect, neighbours may pay a premium for a paddock adjoining their garden.
Four routes to a sale
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.

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
Awkward details we deal with
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
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
Common questions
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.
