What affects the price

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

Title

Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.

Planning potential

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

Executors sometimes prefer a lower price now with a share of future uplift.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Land registration

HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.

Tax on the sale

In Wales the buyer pays Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax. 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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Can you deal with our solicitor directly?

Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.

Do you buy land in Newport, Gwent?

Yes. We consider land in and around Newport, Gwent and across Gwent. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
