Sell inherited or probate land in Morley
We buy inherited land across West Yorkshire. In Morley, 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
- No commission: we're the buyer
- No pressure to decide

Rules that apply in England
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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.
Useful to send us

- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Photos of the land and its access
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.
Will you pressure us to decide quickly?
No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
Do you cover the villages around Morley?
Yes. Villages between Morley, Batley and Dewsbury often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
