- Unregistered land with old deeds
- Land let to a farmer or used for grazing
- 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.
Beneficiaries
Everyone entitled needs to be considered, and trustees must act in their interests.
Occupation
Tenants or informal users affect timing and price.
Inheritance tax
Tax due on the estate can make timing important, so speak to the estate's adviser.
Ways to sell this land
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.

Rules that apply in Wales
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.
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
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Hawarden
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.
Can you deal with our solicitor directly?
Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.
Will you pressure us to decide quickly?
No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
