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.
Title
Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.
Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Darlington?
Yes. Villages between Darlington, Newton Aycliffe and Yarm often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
