Sell inherited or probate land in Diss

Our interest in inherited land around Diss is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.

  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

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

Rules that apply in England

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.

What people ask us about inherited land

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.

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.
