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
- Sites where any hope value is modest
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.
How the money works

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

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.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
Do you buy land in Bristol?
Yes. We consider land across Bristol, from Bristol to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
