Sell your land outright in Ripley

Before you agree an outright land sale on land near Ripley, it helps to know exactly when you'd be paid, who carries the planning risk and how the price is set.

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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • No pressure to decide
  • We fund the planning work

Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

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.

The terms that matter

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.

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.

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.
