Property owners who sell their garden or other land “as is” will receive a fraction of its potential value. As it is, garden land is worth little more than agricultural land, but with proper access arranged, legal issues resolved, change of use and planning impediments removed and perhaps joined to others, it can soar to many, many times its original value.
But the planning process can be costly and complex with its layers of strategic plans, guidelines and regulations. It means understanding the local area development and planning frameworks and requirements, as well as the rules affecting individual properties. Specialist legal work is needed to alter boundaries and split title. In rural or historical areas, wildlife or archaeological studies and reports are commonly required.
Neighbours and other interested parties must be involved, consulted and negotiated with. Many people find this difficult when they have known and lived with their neighbours for a long time.
In addition, it takes quite a lot of money. Typically, thousands of pounds are spent on professional planning advice, searches, surveys and plans. These often have to be amended before permission is granted.
Particularly for a novice, timescales can be unpredictable and it can sometimes take years.
