Sell inherited or probate land in Bartley Green

We buy inherited land across the West Midlands. In Bartley Green, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

Inherited land is land that has passed, or is passing, to someone under a will or the rules of intestacy. Executors or administrators usually need a grant of representation before they can complete a sale, and all beneficiaries' interests need to be considered.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • Independent advice encouraged

Planning and legal points for land in the West Midlands

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

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.

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.
