Sell inherited or probate land in Tewkesbury

If you own inherited land near Tewkesbury, we can usually tell you quite quickly whether it suits us, and if it doesn't, we'll say why.

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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • No pressure to decide

Is your land near Tewkesbury a good fit?

  • Land held by executors or administrators
  • Land shared between several family members
  • Land let to a farmer or used for grazing
  • Plots and gardens attached to a property being sold

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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Gloucestershire

Grant of representation

A sale can usually only complete once probate or letters of administration are granted.

Title

Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.

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.

Four routes to a sale

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Tewkesbury

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.

Will you pressure us to decide quickly?

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