What affects the price

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.

Planning potential

Inherited land near settlements may have value the family hasn't considered.

Overage

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

Four routes to a sale

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

  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. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. 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.

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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access

What people ask us about inherited land

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.

Will you pressure us to decide quickly?

No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
