What makes inherited land in Buckinghamshire worth an offer
- Fields, paddocks and plots left in a will
- Land shared between several family members
- Unregistered land with old deeds
- Plots and gardens attached to a property being sold
- Land where the family disagrees about what to do
Land in an estate is often unregistered, shared between several people or used informally by neighbours. None of that stops a sale, but it does shape the timetable.
What affects the price
Grant of representation
A sale can usually only complete once probate or letters of administration are granted.
Title
Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.
Occupation
Tenants or informal users affect timing and price.
Overage
Executors sometimes prefer a lower price now with a share of future uplift.
Four routes to a sale
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.
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 Buckinghamshire
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.
Awkward details we deal with
Beneficiaries disagree
A written offer with a clear basis helps everyone see the facts. Each beneficiary can take their own advice.
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 rough size, in acres or hectares

Your questions answered
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.
What if the land is unregistered?
It can still be sold. The title will be registered as part of the sale, which adds some time.
Can you deal with our solicitor directly?
Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.
Do you buy land in Buckinghamshire?
Yes. We consider land across Buckinghamshire, from Milton Keynes to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
