Farmland and paddocks wanted in Holywell
We want to hear from owners of farmland and paddocks in Holywell. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Farmland and paddocks can become development land when they sit beside a settlement that needs new homes. We look for fields on the edges of towns and villages across England and Wales and work with owners on options, conditional contracts and joint ventures.

Farmland and paddocks we are looking for in Holywell
Fields that wrap around the edges of Holywell and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Holywell is in Clwyd, about 8 miles north-west of Mold. Nearby places include Flint, Mold and Prestatyn.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Land put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Clwyd covers north-east Wales, from Wrexham, Deeside, Buckley, Mold and Flint to the coastal towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the market towns of the Vale of Clwyd. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, former industrial land around Deeside and Wrexham, farm buildings and village infill. There is no grey belt in Wales, but Future Wales anticipates a green belt around Wrexham and Deeside, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape is a major constraint.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Holywell
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Landscape
Protected landscapes and sensitive views limit what may be acceptable.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 75 miles from Holywell, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 75 miles from Holywell, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Holywell?
