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.

Your questions answered
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.
Can you deal with our solicitor directly?
Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.
Can you visit land near Daventry?
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.
