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

What farmland and paddocks we want near Fleet
Fields that wrap around the edges of Fleet and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Fleet lies about 26 miles north-east of Winchester in Hampshire. We also cover Farnborough, Aldershot, Yateley and the villages between them.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- 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
Nutrient neutrality advice has applied across much of south Hampshire because of the Solent's protected habitats, and coastal schemes contribute to recreation mitigation for overwintering birds. The M3 and M27 corridors carry most planned growth, with smaller sites in market towns such as Alton, Andover and Romsey.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Fleet
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 England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Parts of Hampshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 99 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Hampshire
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.
How much land do you need?
Anything from a single paddock to larger holdings. Smaller parcels next to villages can be very suitable.
Is Fleet too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 99 miles from Fleet, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Fleet assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
