Land we're keen to see around Garston
- Fields, paddocks and plots left in a will
- Land shared between several family members
- Unregistered land with old deeds
- Land let to a farmer or used for grazing
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.

Questions from landowners near Garston
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.
Will you pressure us to decide quickly?
No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
Do you buy land in Garston?
Yes. We consider land in and around Garston and across Merseyside. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
