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

- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
South Yorkshire centres on Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley, with former mining towns such as Wath-upon-Dearne, Mexborough, Maltby and Thorne. Green Belt covers much of the open land between these towns, and the Peak District National Park extends into the west of Sheffield. Former colliery, steel and industrial land, town-centre sites and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing land, with grey belt now relevant on parts of the urban fringe.
Before we make an offer in Hoyland
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
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.
Some land in South Yorkshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 68 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Hoyland 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.
Can an agent introduce land in Hoyland 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 Hoyland assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
