Selling land from an estate can feel like a lot to manage at a difficult time. We keep the process clear, work with your solicitor and don't rush you.

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.

Planning potential

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

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.

  2. We do the homework

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

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

Beneficiaries disagree

A written offer with a clear basis helps everyone see the facts. Each beneficiary can take their own advice.

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
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about inherited land

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.

Can you deal with our solicitor directly?

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