Planning and legal points for land in Cornwall

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.

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.

Useful to send us

  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Your questions answered

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.

Will you pressure us to decide quickly?

No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
