Sell part of your garden in Llandudno

If you own a house in Llandudno with more garden than you need, selling the far end of it as a building plot lets you release that land without moving. We buy suitable plots outright, with or without planning permission, always subject to survey, title and contract. You keep the house, the part of the garden you use, and the final say on where the line falls.

Conwy County Borough Council would decide any application for a new home on the plot, judging it against the council’s Local Development Plan (LDP) and PPW. Our free appraisal looks at those policies alongside your title plan and the way in from the road, so you hear early whether a sale looks realistic.

How it plays out in Llandudno

Every garden sale in Llandudno ends up as a transfer of part, so the title is where our checks begin. We look for covenants that restrict building, rights of way crossing the plot, and whether the boundary on the ground matches the plan. A mortgage lender will need to release the plot, and a sewer under the lawn may need a build-over agreement.

On the planning side, the searches show what Conwy County Borough Council has approved or refused at the address, and the council’s Local Development Plan (LDP) shows how it views new homes in gardens. Together, these tell us whether to make an offer before anyone takes a tape measure out.

Noon sun in Llandudno on 21 March sits about 37° above the horizon, so a typical two-storey eaves line (about 5 m) throws a shadow of roughly 6.7 m. In December the sun is only about 13° up and shadows stretch much further. Drawn for a garden facing north, where it matters most.

From first call to decision

Next steps in Llandudno are simple. Send us your address and a rough idea of the part of the garden you’d consider selling. We check the title and the planning position from our desk, call you to talk it through, and arrange a visit if the plot looks viable. If it is, a written offer follows, subject to survey, title and contract.

  1. Free plot appraisal

    Tell us about your garden. We check the title plan, access, local policy and planning history from our desk, then talk it through with you. If it looks viable, we arrange a site visit, with no cost and no obligation.

  2. Solicitors and lender

    Your solicitor prepares the transfer of part and asks your mortgage lender to release the plot. Ours checks the title, covenants, rights of way and searches, while surveys of trees, ground and drainage run alongside.

  3. Exchange and completion

    Once both sides are satisfied, contracts are exchanged and a completion date is fixed. On completion the money passes through the solicitors and HM Land Registry registers the plot under a new title of its own.

  4. After the sale

    Any boundary fence or access works agreed in the transfer are carried out as set out. If the plot still needs planning, we apply as the new owner, and you can see and comment on the plans like any other neighbour.

Worth checking early

  • Selling the plot after you have sold or moved out of the house can change the tax position; take advice from a tax adviser.
  • A new home will be built close to yours, with building work and deliveries for a period.
  • A sale without planning is priced for the planning risk we take on, so it usually pays less than the same plot with permission.

Your questions, answered for Llandudno

How much is a garden plot in Llandudno worth?

It depends on location, size, access and planning, so there’s no honest figure without looking at the plot itself. A garden with good access and room for a well-spaced home is a stronger plot than one with a narrow, shared or doubtful route in. Our free appraisal is the way to find out, and any offer comes in writing.

Can I sell the plot and keep living in my Llandudno house?

Yes, that’s the whole point of a plot sale. You keep the house and the rest of the garden, and the boundary is drawn where you agree. The transfer can include rights and covenants that protect your home, such as who builds the new fence and limits on windows facing your property.

Do I pay Land Transaction Tax (LTT) when I sell a garden plot in Llandudno?

No. Land Transaction Tax (LTT) falls on the buyer of land, so on a sale to us any amount due is ours to pay. What may affect you as the seller is Capital Gains Tax, depending on your circumstances and whether you still live in the house. Take advice from a tax adviser before you agree a deal.

Can I sell part of my garden in Llandudno without planning permission?

Yes. We buy suitable plots with or without planning, subject to survey, title and contract. Without permission, we take on the risk that Conwy County Borough Council refuses an application, and our offer allows for that. If you’d rather sell only once permission is granted, a sale subject to planning is the alternative.
