Planning and legal points for land in Oxfordshire
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
Beneficiaries disagree
A written offer with a clear basis helps everyone see the facts. Each beneficiary can take their own advice.
The deeds can't be found
Missing deeds can be dealt with through first registration with supporting evidence. Your solicitor will guide this.

- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map

Common questions
Do all beneficiaries have to agree?
Executors make the decision, but they must act in the beneficiaries' interests. Many involve beneficiaries to avoid disputes. Take legal advice if there's disagreement.
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 Didcot?
Yes. We consider land in and around Didcot and across Oxfordshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
