Sell your land outright in Aberystwyth

Choosing how to sell matters as much as choosing who to sell to. For land near Aberystwyth, an outright land sale trades certainty and timing in a particular way.

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.

What to check in an outright land sale

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.

Deposit

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

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.

When do I get paid?

Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.

Can you pull out after exchange?

No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.

Do you cover the villages around Aberystwyth?

Yes. Villages between Aberystwyth, Llandrindod Wells and Cardigan often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
