What makes inherited land near Reigate worth an offer

  • Land held by executors or administrators
  • Unregistered land with old deeds
  • Land let to a farmer or used for grazing
  • 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.

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.

Inheritance tax

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

Overage

Executors sometimes prefer a lower price now with a share of future uplift.

Choosing how to sell

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.

What happens next

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

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

  3. You get a written offer

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

  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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

Probate hasn't been granted yet

We can agree terms and start the legal work so the sale is ready when the grant arrives.

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

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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.

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.

Can you deal with our solicitor directly?

Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.
