Selling part of your garden
A garden sale starts with deciding what you could let go and how the rest would work. Land Offers helps owners explore a sale and find potential buyers for garden and infill plots.
Tell us about your landDecide what you would sell and keep
Mark the proposed plot on a map or a copy of an existing plan. Include its approximate size and show the house, parking, outbuildings and garden you would retain.
Consider the effect on your own home: privacy, views, maintenance and the route between the house and the remaining garden. A proposed boundary for discussion still needs to be checked against the ownership documents.
- The postcode or nearest road and the part of the garden involved.
- Any entrance the plot could use, including shared access.
- Drains, pipes, cables or other features crossing the proposed boundary.
Separate the plot from its possible use
A buyer might want extra garden space or a building plot. Describe any existing planning decision accurately; being large enough to draw a house on a plan does not establish permission to build.
If development is being considered, ask the local planning authority or a planning consultant about the proposal. Planning systems differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Check the effect on your title and mortgage
Ask a solicitor to check ownership, restrictions, access rights and any lender requirements before agreeing a sale. The documents need to protect the land you retain as well as identify the land being sold.
In England and Wales, selling part of a registered title involves a transfer identifying that part on a plan. HM Land Registry also flags that a mortgage may require a lender’s release of the part sold. Scotland and Northern Ireland use different registration procedures.
Start with the location and your plans
Tell us where the garden is, roughly how much you would sell and whether you have already discussed planning or access. Mention any agent or buyer agreement. We can discuss whether we can help and agree our work and fees before making introductions.
Questions about selling your land
Can I enquire about selling just part of my garden?
Yes. Describe the part you are considering and what you would keep. Access, boundaries and the effect on the remaining property need to be understood before agreeing terms.
Do I need planning permission before contacting Land Offers?
No. We consider garden plots with or without permission. Tell us what is already known and keep any proposed development separate from an existing planning approval.
How much is part of my garden worth?
There is no single price for garden land. The location, plot, access, restrictions and proposed use need to be considered. A qualified valuer can advise on value; we discuss the property and potential buyers rather than promise an online valuation.
