Sell inherited or probate land in Welling

We consider inherited land in Welling and across Greater London, from sites close to the DA16 postcode district out towards Bexley and Eltham.

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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

Selling land from an estate can feel like a lot to manage at a difficult time. We keep the process clear, work with your solicitor and don't rush you.

The things that move our offer

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.

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.

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.

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. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

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

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Will you pressure us to decide quickly?

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