Farmland and paddocks we are looking for in Grantham
Fields that wrap around the edges of Grantham and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Grantham is in Lincolnshire, about 22 miles south of Lincoln. Nearby places include Sleaford, Newark-on-Trent and Melton Mowbray.
- 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
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Flood zones and the sequential test often decide what is possible in the Fens and along the coast, so sites on higher ground or within existing towns are favoured. The A1 corridor at Grantham and Stamford, the Lincoln area and the Humber ports see the most interest in larger housing land.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Lincolnshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Grantham are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 59 miles from Grantham, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Grantham 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.
Is Grantham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 59 miles from Grantham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Grantham?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
