Sell your land outright in Stockton-on-Tees

If you own land in or around Stockton-on-Tees, outright purchase is one of four ways you can sell it to us. Here's how it works and when it makes sense.

An outright purchase, or unconditional sale, is a sale where we agree a price, exchange contracts and complete without waiting for planning permission. It's the quickest and most certain way to sell, but the price reflects the planning risk the buyer takes on.

Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes

This is the route for land with planning permission, for executors who need to wind up an estate, and for anyone who'd rather not wait.

How the money works

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.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

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.

Do you buy land in Stockton-on-Tees?

Yes. We consider land in and around Stockton-on-Tees 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.
