Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • 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.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Costs

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

Questions from landowners near Carlisle

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.

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.
