Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes

If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.

What to check in an outright land sale

Planning risk

Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.

Speed

A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Common questions

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.

Do you buy land in Workington?

Yes. We consider land in and around Workington 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.
