Plot Sells for 60 Per Cent Above Guide Price at Terra Firma Auctions
Posted by Terra Firma Auctions on 30th June 2026 -
Terra Firma Auctions has once again demonstrated the strength of the UK land auction market, selling a freehold plot in Blackwater, Hampshire, for 60% above its guide price.
The result reflects continued buyer appetite for land with development or recreational potential, even in a market where many sellers remain cautious.
The property, known as The Sandhurst (Plot 3), is a circa one-acre freehold plot located on Hearsey Gardens, GU17. Offered with a guide price of £30,000, the lot attracted strong competition before going under the hammer at Terra Firma Auctions' online sale on Thursday 25 June 2026.
Spanning roughly 4,492 square metres, the secure and gated plot benefited from vacant possession and direct right of way access from Hearsey Gardens. Its gentle terrain and lack of fencing restrictions made it suitable for a range of recreational uses, while its close proximity to existing residential housing added to its appeal. As with all land sales of this nature, any future development potential remains subject to the relevant planning permissions.
Blackwater itself sits within the Hart District of Hampshire, forming part of the wider Farnborough and Aldershot built-up area. Positioned within the London Commuter Belt and close to the South Western Main Line via Farnborough station, the location offers a practical blend of rural character and connectivity, factors that likely contributed to the competitive bidding seen on auction day.
