Sell inherited or probate land in Uxbridge

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

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.

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

What makes inherited land near Uxbridge worth an offer

  • Fields, paddocks and plots left in a will
  • Unregistered land with old deeds
  • Plots and gardens attached to a property being sold
  • Land where the family disagrees about what to do

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.

What affects the price

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.

Occupation

Tenants or informal users affect timing and price.

Planning potential

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

Ways to sell this land

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.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    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

    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.

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

Beneficiaries disagree

A written offer with a clear basis helps everyone see the facts. Each beneficiary can take their own advice.

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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

Do all beneficiaries have to agree?

Executors make the decision, but they must act in the beneficiaries' interests. Many involve beneficiaries to avoid disputes. Take legal advice if there's disagreement.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Uxbridge?

Yes. Villages between Uxbridge, Ruislip and Hayes often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
