Why buy a building plot in London

Yes, London has farms. Inside the Greater London boundary there are 152 commercial holdings on about 9,575 hectares, almost all on the Green Belt edge in outer boroughs such as Havering, Bromley, Enfield, Hillingdon, and Bexley: grazing, hay, market gardens, and livery yards inside the M25. Most buyers here want a paddock, a plot, or a smallholding within reach of the city.

London has no National Park or National Landscape, so standard planning rules apply across the county and permitted development for agricultural buildings is at its fullest.

22% of London is Green Belt, which keeps the countryside around its towns open. New homes there need special circumstances, so check the designation on any plot before you count on planning.

8,820 people were on London's council self-build registers at October 2024. Councils must grant enough permissions to meet that demand, so registering with your council as well as with us is worth doing.

Planning is decided by 33 councils in London, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
