Looking to sell an equestrian property?
We consider equestrian centres, livery yards, stables, paddocks, riding arenas and mixed rural properties throughout the UK, including operational businesses sold with their land, buildings and facilities.
Sell the land, facilities and equestrian opportunity
Equestrian properties can combine several different elements, including grazing land, stables, indoor or outdoor arenas, workshops, residential accommodation and an established livery or training business.
We Buy Land & Sites considers the complete equestrian property. We look at the land, buildings, facilities, current operation, planning position and future potential rather than assessing the property as ordinary rural land.
You do not need to prepare a full sales brochure or business memorandum before contacting us. Basic information about the location, acreage, facilities and current use is enough to begin.

The complete equestrian property position
We consider how the property currently works and whether the land, facilities and buildings support private or commercial equestrian use.
The equestrian business can form part of the sale
Some equestrian properties have been developed around an established livery, teaching, training or competition business. The customers, facilities and reputation may be closely connected to the property.
Where appropriate, the operating business and freehold property can be considered together.
Initial discussions can remain confidential where clients, staff, liveries or neighbouring owners are unaware of a possible sale.
The property does not need to be perfect
Well-established equestrian businesses are welcome, but we also consider properties requiring investment, restructuring or a new use.
How to start an equestrian property enquiry
Begin with the details you already have. A full property brochure, business plan or valuation is not required at the first stage.
Identify the Property
Provide the address, postcode or enough information for the land and buildings to be located.
Describe the Facilities
Tell us the acreage, stable numbers, arenas, accommodation and current equestrian use.
Initial Assessment
The land, buildings, planning position and available business information can then be reviewed.
Discuss the Next Step
Where the opportunity appears suitable, we explain what additional information or inspection may be required.
What information should you provide?
Basic property information is enough to begin. Further details can be requested later if the opportunity appears suitable.
Selling an equestrian property
Common questions from owners considering the sale of a livery yard, riding centre, private equestrian home or horse-related business.
Does the property need to be operating as a business?
No. Private equestrian homes, operational businesses and closed sites can all be considered.
Can a livery business be included?
Yes. Where appropriate, the livery operation, equipment, customers and property may be considered together.
Is there a minimum acreage?
There is no single minimum. Suitability depends on the land, facilities, buildings, location and current use.
Can a house be included?
Yes. Residential accommodation can form part of the complete equestrian property sale.
What if the facilities need repairs?
Poor condition does not automatically exclude a property. The land, buildings and future potential may still be relevant.
Can the enquiry remain confidential?
Yes. Initial discussions can remain private where clients, staff, liveries or neighbours are unaware of a possible sale.
Do I need a valuation first?
No. Existing valuations can be useful but are not required for an initial conversation.
Can mixed-use rural property be considered?
Yes. Property combining equestrian, residential, agricultural, tourism or other rural uses may be considered.
Considering selling an equestrian property, livery yard or riding centre?
Tell us where the property is located, its approximate acreage, the facilities included and whether an operating business forms part of the sale. An initial enquiry is confidential and does not commit you to sell.
