Sell a paddock or equestrian land in Nottingham

Whether your land is in Nottingham itself or in the villages between Nottingham and West Bridgford, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.

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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Where Nottingham sits

Former coalfield towns, farmland and Sherwood Forest, with the Nottingham and Derby green belt wrapped around the city.

Land we're keen to see around Nottingham

  • Paddocks adjoining village or town housing
  • Small fields of around half an acre to several acres
  • Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding
  • Pony paddocks no longer needed by the family

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

Position

A paddock next to houses has far more potential than one in open countryside.

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.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Nottinghamshire

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.

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.

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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Nottingham

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Nottingham?

Yes. Villages between Nottingham, West Bridgford and Arnold often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
