The things that move our offer

Grant of representation

A sale can usually only complete once probate or letters of administration are granted.

Occupation

Tenants or informal users affect timing and price.

Inheritance tax

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

Planning potential

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

Ways to sell this land

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

Rules that apply in Wales

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

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.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Your questions answered

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.

Will you pressure us to decide quickly?

No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
