Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • 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 to check in an outright land sale

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.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

What people ask us about an outright land sale

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.
