Is your land in Beddau the kind we want?
Around Beddau, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together. Beddau lies about 10 miles east of Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan. We also cover Llantrisant, Pontypridd, Tonyrefail and the villages between them.

Mid Glamorgan covers the South Wales valleys of the Rhondda, Cynon, Taff and Merthyr, along with Bridgend, Pontypridd, Maesteg and Porthcawl. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the northern uplands fall within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Former colliery and industrial land, terraced-street infill and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing sites, with coal mining legacy and steep slopes common checks.
What decides whether a site in Beddau works
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.
Mortgage consent
If your home is mortgaged, the lender will usually need to release the garden land.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 92 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

What if my mortgage lender says no?
