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.

Land we're keen to see around Northampton

  • Paddocks adjoining village or town housing
  • Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
  • Pony paddocks no longer needed by the family
  • Equestrian yards with buildings that could be redeveloped

Paddocks often sit right on the edge of villages, which can make them some of the most interesting small sites for new homes.

The things that move our offer

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.

Existing buildings

Stables and hardstanding may count as previously developed land in some cases.

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

Planning and legal points for land in Northamptonshire

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.

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

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.

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.

Do you buy land in Northampton?

Yes. We consider land in and around Northampton and across Northamptonshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
