Sell your land outright in Wokingham
For owners in Wokingham and the RG40 area, an outright land sale is worth understanding before you talk to any buyer, including us.
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.

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

A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.
Overage
Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.
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.
