Freehold subsoil lot under adopted highway — sold at online auction October 2025.
Freehold sale of subsoil beneath an adopted highway (Title No WA143678)
For investors or developers seeking a non-traditional asset, this lot offers freehold ownership of subsoil beneath an adopted highway in Pontllanfraith (Title No WA143678). The sale specifically covers the subsoil rather than surface land, which can carry specialist rights or income opportunities; however, any use is subject to the constraints of the highway being adopted.
The parcel is offered at online auction (7–9 October 2025). Its location close to local services — shops, fuel, church and light industrial activity — and excellent mobile and fast broadband make it easy to manage or market to specialist buyers. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime, so investors should factor local socio-economic conditions into value projections.
Important practical points: the site forms part of an adopted highway, so surface use, access and development will be restricted by highway and local authority rights. There is no indication of building rights or surface ownership in the sale; any intended extraction, leasing of subsurface rights or other uses will require legal due diligence and approvals. Sold freehold, this lot is best suited to buyers with experience in unusual land titles, subsoil rights, or those prepared to instruct specialist legal and technical advice.
