Where Loughborough sits
Loughborough (LE11) sits in OS grid square SK51, about 9 miles north of Leicester. Sites between here and Coalville or Humberstone are just as much of interest to us.
Largely lowland farmland and growing towns. Unlike many Midlands counties, Leicestershire has no designated green belt.

What makes paddock land near Loughborough worth an offer
- 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
- Equestrian yards with buildings that could be redeveloped
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.
What decides the value of paddock land near Loughborough
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.
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.

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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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.
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
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Loughborough
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.
Do you buy land in Loughborough?
Yes. We consider land in and around Loughborough and across Leicestershire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
