What to check in an outright land sale
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.
Overage
Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.
Title
Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Penzance?
Yes. Villages between Penzance, Helston and Camborne often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
