Is your land in Haslemere the kind we want?
In parts of Haslemere with long gardens or rear lanes, backland plots can work well if the access is wide enough and neighbours are treated fairly. Sitting about 12 miles south-west of Guildford, Haslemere is within Surrey, with Bordon and Godalming close by.
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- 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
Surrey is a county of commuter towns, including Woking, Guildford, Epsom, Reigate, Redhill, Camberley, Staines-upon-Thames and Farnham, and many villages. Most of the county is Metropolitan Green Belt, and the Surrey Hills and High Weald National Landscapes cover much of the south. Previously developed land, infill plots, garden and backland sites and grey belt are therefore central to housing supply, with larger sites usually allocated through local plans.

Garden and backland plots in Haslemere: common questions
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.
Is Haslemere too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 113 miles from Haslemere, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Haslemere?
As Haslemere is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
