When an outright land sale suits land near Bishop Auckland

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • 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.

The terms that matter

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.

Costs

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

What England's rules mean for your land

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

When the land isn't straightforward

You think the land might get planning later

An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.

You need the money by a certain date

Tell us at the start. We'll be honest about whether that's achievable.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Bishop Auckland

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.

Can I still benefit if you get planning later?

Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.

Can you visit land near Bishop Auckland?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
