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.
When do I get paid?
Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Do you buy land in Cambridgeshire?
Yes. We consider land across Cambridgeshire, from Peterborough to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
