Title
Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.
Beneficiaries
Everyone entitled needs to be considered, and trustees must act in their interests.

Overage
Executors sometimes prefer a lower price now with a share of future uplift.
Four routes to a sale

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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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.

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 cover the villages around Bridlington?
Yes. Villages between Bridlington, Driffield and Scarborough often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
