Farmland and paddocks wanted in Newport
We want to hear from owners of farmland and paddocks in Newport. 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.

Is your land in Newport the kind we want?
We are looking for farmland near Newport with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the Local Development Plan. In Gwent, Newport sits about 5 miles south of Cwmbran; Caerleon and Risca are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- 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.
Before we make an offer in Newport
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 81 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Newport 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.
How much land do you need?
Anything from a single paddock to larger holdings. Smaller parcels next to villages can be very suitable.
Can an agent introduce land in Newport 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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Newport assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
