What we look for around Humberstone

  • Grazing land with a gate onto a public road
  • Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
  • Land behind houses with a shared or private access
  • Equestrian yards with buildings that could be redeveloped

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 Leicestershire

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.

Change of use history

Equestrian use may already have needed planning permission; we check the record.

Drainage

Paddocks without mains drainage nearby can be costly to connect.

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.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

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

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Rules that apply in England

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.

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
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about paddock land

Is my paddock worth more than agricultural land?

Often, because paddocks are close to houses. How much more depends on access, planning policy and whether homes could realistically be built.

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.

Can you visit land near Humberstone?

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.
