What we look for around Longton

  • Paddocks adjoining village or town housing
  • Grazing land with a gate onto a public road
  • Small fields of around half an acre to several acres
  • 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 affects the price

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.

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.

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 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.

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

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.
