Sell inherited or probate land in Warwick
Selling inherited land near Warwick doesn't have to start with an agent and a marketing campaign. You can talk to a buyer first and still take independent advice before you decide.
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.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Independent advice encouraged

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Warwickshire
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
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.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Do you buy land in Warwick?
Yes. We consider land in and around Warwick and across Warwickshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
