Sell inherited or probate land in Llanelli
Selling inherited land near Llanelli doesn't have to start with an agent and a marketing campaign. You can talk to a buyer first and still take independent advice before you decide.
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.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them
- No pressure to decide

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

Planning and legal points for land in Dyfed
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.
Awkward details we deal with
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
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
