Is your land in Llanelli the kind we want?
Around Llanelli, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together. Llanelli lies about 13 miles south-east of Carmarthen in Dyfed. We also cover Burry Port, Gorseinon, Pontarddulais and the villages between them.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Paddocks and orchards behind homes on the edge of a village
- Plots where the owner wants to keep their house
Housing growth in Dyfed is planned through Local Development Plans, with land submitted at the candidate site stage. Llanelli, Carmarthen and the Haven towns see most demand, while flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the Loughor estuary, the coast and river valleys such as the Tywi.
Before we make an offer in Llanelli
Overlooking
New homes must sit far enough from existing homes to protect privacy.
Local garden policy
Some councils resist garden development; others support it where character is respected.
Your own property
Selling garden land changes your home, so we plan boundaries and access carefully.
The Planning (Wales) Act 2026 received Royal Assent on 27 April 2026 and is being brought into force in stages, consolidating Welsh planning law into a single Welsh framework.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 113 miles from Llanelli, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
My neighbours might sell too. Does that help?
Often, yes. Combining gardens can create a better site and access. We can talk to each owner and keep the arrangement fair.
What if my mortgage lender says no?
Lenders usually agree where the sale reduces the debt or the remaining security is adequate. We build time for this into the process.

Yes. We buy garden and backland plots in Llanelli and throughout Dyfed, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Can an agent introduce land in Llanelli 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.
