When an outright land sale suits land in Derbyshire
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Owners who want a clean break
- Executors winding up an estate
- Businesses relocating from a site
- 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.
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.
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
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.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Do you buy land in Derbyshire?
Yes. We consider land across Derbyshire, from Derby to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
