Sell your land outright in Slough

We offer an outright land sale on land across Berkshire, including sites around Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead.

An outright purchase, or unconditional sale, is a sale where we agree a price, exchange contracts and complete without waiting for planning permission. It's the quickest and most certain way to sell, but the price reflects the planning risk the buyer takes on.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • We fund the planning work

Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • Sites where any hope value is modest

If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.

What to check in an outright land sale

Overage

Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Costs

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

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

Awkward details we deal with

You think the land might get planning later

An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.

A previous buyer pulled out

With an unconditional exchange, we're legally committed to complete.

Common questions

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.

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.

When do I get paid?

Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
