Farmland and paddocks wanted in Monmouth
If you own farmland and paddocks in or around Monmouth, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
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 Development Plan, then explain which deal would suit.

Is your land in Monmouth the kind we want?
Around Monmouth, paddocks and fields beside existing homes can have real potential, even where they have been grazed or farmed for generations. Sitting about 17 miles north-east of Cwmbran, Monmouth is within Gwent, with Chepstow and Abergavenny close by.
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Gwent covers south-east Wales, from Newport, Cwmbran and Pontypool to the valley towns of Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Blackwood and Caerphilly and the market towns of Abergavenny, Chepstow and Monmouth. Typical sites include former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-town fields and village infill, with green wedges protecting gaps between settlements. Phosphate limits in the Usk and Wye catchments have held back housing in parts of the area, and the Gwent Levels bring flood and habitat constraints.
What decides whether a site in Monmouth works
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.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 61 miles from Monmouth, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Monmouth ask
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.

Yes. We buy farmland and paddocks in Monmouth and throughout Gwent, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Which planning rules apply to land in Monmouth?
As Monmouth is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
