The things that move our offer
Grant of representation
A sale can usually only complete once probate or letters of administration are granted.
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.
Choosing how to sell
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.

What England's rules mean for your land
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
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.
Can you deal with our solicitor directly?
Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.
Can you visit land near Kingston upon Hull?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
