Sell inherited or probate land in Blackheath
We buy inherited land across Greater London. In Blackheath, 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 Blackheath
Grant of representation
A sale can usually only complete once probate or letters of administration are granted.
Beneficiaries
Everyone entitled needs to be considered, and trustees must act in their interests.
Inheritance tax
Tax due on the estate can make timing important, so speak to the estate's adviser.
Planning potential
Inherited land near settlements may have value the family hasn't considered.
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.

Rules that apply in England
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.
The deeds can't be found
Missing deeds can be dealt with through first registration with supporting evidence. Your solicitor will guide this.

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.
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.
Will you pressure us to decide quickly?
No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
Can you visit land near Blackheath?
