What we look for in Clwyd
- Land held by executors or administrators
- 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.

Planning potential
Inherited land near settlements may have value the family hasn't considered.

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

What Wales's rules mean for your land
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
Tax on the sale
In Wales the buyer pays Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax. Take advice from an accountant.
When the land isn't straightforward
Probate hasn't been granted yet
We can agree terms and start the legal work so the sale is ready when the grant arrives.
Beneficiaries disagree
A written offer with a clear basis helps everyone see the facts. Each beneficiary can take their own advice.

Questions from landowners in Clwyd
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.
Is there tax to pay when inherited land is sold?
Inheritance tax may apply to the estate, and capital gains tax may apply to any rise in value after death. Speak to the estate's accountant or solicitor.
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.
Do you buy land in Clwyd?
Yes. We consider land across Clwyd, from Wrexham to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
