The things that move our offer
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.
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
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.
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.

Planning and legal points for land in South Glamorgan
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
Tax on the sale
In Wales the buyer pays Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax. 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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
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.
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.
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.
Do you buy land in South Glamorgan?
Yes. We consider land across South Glamorgan, from Cardiff to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
