Farmland and paddocks wanted in Wigston
We want to hear from owners of farmland and paddocks in Wigston. 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 Wigston
We are looking for farmland near Wigston with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the local plan. Wigston lies about 4 miles south-east of Leicester in Leicestershire. We also cover Oadby, Leicester, Earl Shilton 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
- Land put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
Before we make an offer in Wigston
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Landscape
Protected landscapes and sensitive views limit what may be acceptable.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Leicestershire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Wigston are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 34 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.

Development land may need to leave a scheme at some point. Check your agreements and take advice; we plan timing around them where we can.
