Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes

This is the route for land with planning permission, for executors who need to wind up an estate, and for anyone who'd rather not wait.

What to check in an outright land sale

Planning risk

Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.

Speed

A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Costs

You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

Your questions answered

How fast can an outright sale complete?

It depends on the title, searches and how quickly both solicitors work. Straightforward registered land can move quickly; we won't promise a date before seeing the title.

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.
