Beneficiaries
Everyone entitled needs to be considered, and trustees must act in their interests.

Tax due on the estate can make timing important, so speak to the estate's adviser.

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

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.

Missing deeds can be dealt with through first registration with supporting evidence. Your solicitor will guide this.

Questions from landowners near Corby
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.
Can you deal with our solicitor directly?
Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.
Will you pressure us to decide quickly?
No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
Do you cover the villages around Corby?
Yes. Villages between Corby, Desborough and Kettering often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
