What people ask us about an outright land sale
What is an outright land sale?
A sale with no conditions such as planning permission. Once contracts are exchanged, both sides are committed to complete on the agreed date.
Does an outright sale pay the most?
Usually not, for land without permission. You're trading some price for speed and certainty. A conditional deal or option may pay more but takes longer.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Do you buy land in Bedfordshire?
Yes. We consider land across Bedfordshire, from Luton to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
