What affects the price
Grant of representation
A sale can usually only complete once probate or letters of administration are granted.
Beneficiaries
Everyone entitled needs to be considered, and trustees must act in their interests.
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.
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.

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
Useful to send us

- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
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.
Can you visit land near Great Yarmouth?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
