Who an outright land sale works best for
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Executors winding up an estate
- Businesses relocating from a site
- Sites where any hope value is modest
An outright sale means you're paid on completion and the land, and its risks, become ours.
The terms that matter
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.
Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.
Costs
You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

Common questions
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.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
Do you buy land in Ulverston?
Yes. We consider land in and around Ulverston and across Cumbria. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
