Sell inherited or probate land in Devizes

We buy inherited land across Wiltshire. In Devizes, 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.

  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

How we arrive at a figure for land in Wiltshire

Occupation

Tenants or informal users affect timing and price.

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.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  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. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Wiltshire

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.

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
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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.

Can you deal with our solicitor directly?

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

Will you pressure us to decide quickly?

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

Do you buy land in Devizes?

Yes. We consider land in and around Devizes and across Wiltshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
