Where Salford fits
Salford sits about 2 miles west of Manchester in Greater Manchester, in the M6 postcode district. Nearby, we also cover Eccles, Old Trafford and Manchester, all within 2 miles. Within England, Salford falls in the North West region.
In and around Salford, the land we appraise ranges from backland plots with a workable access to fields put forward or allocated in the local plan, including large and long rear gardens. In England, where Salford sits, planning decisions are made by the local planning authority, usually the district, borough, city or unitary council (or a national park authority).

Rules that apply in Salford
Whether a field or large garden could take homes depends mostly on the council's Local Plan and national policy. Under the National Planning Policy Framework, plans define settlement boundaries, and land just outside Salford may still come forward if it is allocated, previously developed or meets evidenced unmet housing need. Smaller housing schemes can also use Permission in Principle, an England-only route that settles location, use and amount first. Our free appraisal explains which route suits your land.
If you rent privately in Salford, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 now shapes your tenancy: most tenancies run from one rent period to the next, rent can usually only be raised once a year through a formal process, and no-fault evictions have ended. Affordable options in England include Social Rent, Affordable Rent at up to 80% of market rent, and shared ownership. Land to Homes plans homes for sale and rent, and you can register interest now.

Land and homes in Salford: questions
Can you guarantee my land will get planning permission?
No one can guarantee planning permission. Decisions rest with the planning authority or, on appeal, an independent appeal body. What we can do is assess the prospects honestly, prepare a thorough application and deal with likely objections early. If we think a site is unlikely to succeed, we will tell you before anyone spends time or money on it.
Can I sell land without planning permission?
Yes. Land often sells without planning, either for a price that reflects the planning risk or under a deal where the price is set once permission is granted. Land to Homes can buy suitable sites directly, with or without planning and with no onward chain, subject to survey, title and contract, or promote the land through planning with you.
What should I check before reserving any new-build home?
Check the specification, the tenure and any lease terms, estate or service charges for unadopted roads and open space, the warranty provider, the reservation terms and whether the developer is registered with the New Homes Quality Board. Instruct your own solicitor early, visit the site if you can and ask for everything important in writing.
How do I register interest in a new home?
Tell us your contact details, preferred areas, the type and size of home, whether you want to buy or rent, and your timing. Registering is free, it is not a reservation or an application, and you can ask us to remove your details at any time. We use it to contact you and to understand what people need.
Do you buy land in Salford?
Yes. Land to Homes looks at land in Salford and elsewhere in Greater Manchester, including Whitefield, Wigan and Failsworth. Every enquiry starts with a free site appraisal, and on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees.
