Related posts by ACF field value

I have an ACF field called sale_or_charter with three radio options – for sale, charter or new build.

Each custom post type will have one of these values – I would like to then display related posts that have the same value for the sale_or_charter field as the current page.

I can’t work out what i am doing wrong?

Any help appreciated

                                                   $args = array(

                                                       'posts_per_page' => 3,

                                                       while ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) : $my_posts->the_post();

After all that – I realised I had the field value set to label not value!
