Sell your land outright in Ellesmere Port
If you own land near Ellesmere Port, you may be wondering whether an outright land sale would suit you. The answer depends on your land's planning prospects and how soon you want to be paid.

Who an outright land sale works best for

- Sites where any hope value is modest
- Owners who've had a sale fall through
If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.

What people ask us about an outright land sale
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 you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
