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.
Title
Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.
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.
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

What England's rules mean for your land

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

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

Questions from landowners near Tynemouth
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Tynemouth?
Yes. Villages between Tynemouth, North Shields and South Shields often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
