Sell inherited or probate land in Northolt
For owners of inherited land in and around Northolt, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.
Inherited land is land that has passed, or is passing, to someone under a will or the rules of intestacy. Executors or administrators usually need a grant of representation before they can complete a sale, and all beneficiaries' interests need to be considered.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No pressure to decide
- Independent advice encouraged

How we arrive at a figure for land in Greater London
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.
Planning potential
Inherited land near settlements may have value the family hasn't considered.
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Greater London
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.
Awkward details we deal with
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.
Useful to send us

Questions from landowners near Northolt
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.
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.
