Farmland and paddocks wanted in Weymouth
We want to hear from owners of farmland and paddocks in Weymouth. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A paddock or field next to a village or town may have development potential, even if it has always been farmed. We assess how the land relates to the settlement, its access and the local plan, then explain which deal would suit.

The farmland and paddocks that interests us around Weymouth
We are looking for farmland near Weymouth with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the local plan. Sitting about 7 miles south of Dorchester, Weymouth is within Dorset, with Dorchester and Poole close by.
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Dorset combines the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole conurbation with market towns such as Dorchester, Wimborne Minster and Ferndown and a large rural area. Green Belt surrounds the conurbation and extends inland, and the Dorset and Cranborne Chase National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Typical sites include urban brownfield land, edge-of-town fields, farm buildings and infill plots in villages.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Weymouth
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Landscape
Protected landscapes and sensitive views limit what may be acceptable.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Some land in Dorset is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 136 miles from Weymouth, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Farmland and paddocks in Weymouth: common questions
Can I keep farming while you pursue planning?
Yes. Under an option or a conditional contract the land normally stays in your hands, and in use, until completion.
My land is let to a tenant. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes. The type of tenancy decides how and when possession can be obtained, so we look at the agreement early.
Is Weymouth too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 136 miles from Weymouth, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Weymouth to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
