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.

Yes. Villages between Bodmin, St Austell and Newquay often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
