Land we're keen to see around Porthcawl

  • Grazing land with a gate onto a public road
  • Small fields of around half an acre to several acres
  • Pony paddocks no longer needed by the family
  • 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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Mid Glamorgan

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.

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.

Choosing how to sell

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. Solicitors complete the sale

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

What Wales's rules mean for your land

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.

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about paddock land

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.

Can I keep a strip for my own access?

Yes. Your solicitor can reserve rights or keep land back as part of the sale.

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.
