Is your land near Maidenhead a good fit?

  • Land held by executors or administrators
  • Land let to a farmer or used for grazing
  • Plots and gardens attached to a property being sold
  • Land where the family disagrees about what to do

Executors have a duty to get a fair price. We explain our offer in writing so you can compare it with independent advice and show beneficiaries how it was reached.

What affects the price

Title

Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.

Beneficiaries

Everyone entitled needs to be considered, and trustees must act in their interests.

Occupation

Tenants or informal users affect timing and price.

Overage

Executors sometimes prefer a lower price now with a share of future uplift.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

A clean, certain sale that lets the estate be wound up.

Subject-to-planning sale

Possible if beneficiaries are happy to wait for a higher price.

Option agreements

Can suit families who want to hold on while planning is explored.

Joint ventures

Rare for estates, but possible where family members wish to stay involved.

Planning and legal points for land in Berkshire

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

Tax on the sale

The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.

Common problems, and how we handle them

Probate hasn't been granted yet

We can agree terms and start the legal work so the sale is ready when the grant arrives.

The deeds can't be found

Missing deeds can be dealt with through first registration with supporting evidence. Your solicitor will guide this.

Useful to send us

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

Can executors sell land before probate is granted?

They can agree a sale and start the legal work, but most solicitors won't exchange contracts until the grant is issued, and completion needs it.

Do all beneficiaries have to agree?

Executors make the decision, but they must act in the beneficiaries' interests. Many involve beneficiaries to avoid disputes. Take legal advice if there's disagreement.

Can you deal with our solicitor directly?

Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.

Can you visit land near Maidenhead?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
