Sell your land outright in Helston

For owners in Helston and the TR13 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.

  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged
  • We fund the planning work

Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

An outright sale means you're paid on completion and the land, and its risks, become ours.

How the money works

Planning risk

Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.

Speed

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.

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.

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 cover the villages around Helston?

Yes. Villages between Helston, Camborne and Redruth often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
