Sell inherited or probate land in Basildon

We buy inherited land across Essex. In Basildon, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

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.

  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

What decides the value of inherited land near Basildon

Inherited land near settlements may have value the family hasn't considered.

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

How a sale works

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

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.

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 rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters

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.

Do you buy land in Basildon?

Yes. We consider land in and around Basildon and across Essex. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
