What decides the value of strategic land near Blaenau-Ffestiniog

Infrastructure

New roads, schools or drainage on a large scheme are paid for out of land value.

Landowner collaboration

Neighbouring owners agreeing to work together can unlock access and better layouts.

Term length

Longer agreements give more time for planning but tie up your land for longer.

Phasing

Large sites are often bought in phases, with payments staged to match.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

Rare on unallocated strategic land, but possible at a risk-adjusted price.

Subject-to-planning sale

Joint ventures

Lets you share in the development value if you can wait for it.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Biodiversity

Wales doesn't use England's 10% net gain metric. Planning Policy Wales expects development to deliver a net benefit for biodiversity.

Section 106 and CIL

Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.

When the land isn't straightforward

Several family members own the land

We can work with all owners and their advisers, and agreements can set out how payments are split.

You are worried about being tied up for years

We agree a term with clear milestones, so the agreement can end if planning stalls.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about strategic land

How long do strategic land deals last?

Terms vary with the site and the plan timetable. Several years is common, with options to extend if planning is progressing.

Can I farm the land while planning is pursued?

Usually, yes. Agreements normally let you keep using the land until the buyer needs it.

Should I take independent advice?

Yes. Strategic land agreements are complex and you should have your own solicitor and, ideally, a land agent or surveyor. Some agreements contribute to those costs; we will say up front whether ours does.

Do you buy land in Blaenau-Ffestiniog?

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