Is your land in Rhoose the kind we want?
Around Rhoose, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together. Sitting about 10 miles south-west of Cardiff, Rhoose is within South Glamorgan, with Barry and Llantwit Major close by.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Land behind houses with an existing drive or gap for access
- Plots where the owner wants to keep their house
- Sites with or without previous applications
Cardiff is a major focus for new homes in Wales, with regeneration around Cardiff Bay, the city centre and stations on the South Wales Metro. The Glamorgan Heritage Coast, conservation areas and the airport at Rhoose shape what is suitable in the rural Vale.
Before we make an offer in Rhoose
Access width
The drive or road into the plot must be safe for cars, bins and emergency vehicles.
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.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.

Questions owners in Rhoose ask
Will selling part of my garden affect my house value?
It can, and the effect varies. We plan the boundary and access to protect your home, and you should take independent advice on the overall position.
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.
Is Rhoose too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 101 miles from Rhoose, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Rhoose?
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.
