When an outright land sale suits land near Billingham

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Executors winding up an estate

How the money works

Planning risk

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

Overage

Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.

Deposit

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

Costs

You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

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.

Does an outright sale pay the most?

Usually not, for land without permission. You're trading some price for speed and certainty. A conditional deal or option may pay more but takes longer.

When do I get paid?

Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.

Do you buy land in Billingham?

Yes. We consider land in and around Billingham and across County Durham. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
