What we look for around Bridgnorth

  • Fields, paddocks and plots left in a will
  • Land let to a farmer or used for grazing
  • Plots and gardens attached to a property being sold
  • Land where the family disagrees about what to do

Land in an estate is often unregistered, shared between several people or used informally by neighbours. None of that stops a sale, but it does shape the timetable.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Shropshire

Title

Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.

Beneficiaries

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

Occupation

Tenants or informal users affect timing and price.

Planning potential

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

Four routes to a sale

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.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

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.

Useful to send us

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

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.

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.
