The things that move our offer
Title
Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.
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.
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.
From first call to completion
Send us the address
A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.
We do the homework
We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.
You get a written offer
With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.
Solicitors complete the sale
Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.
What England's rules mean for your land
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
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 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
Questions from landowners in Surrey
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 Surrey?
Yes. We consider land across Surrey, from Woking to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
