When an outright land sale suits land near Hailsham

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

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.

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

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.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

What England's rules mean for your land

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

When the land isn't straightforward

You think the land might get planning later

An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.

A previous buyer pulled out

With an unconditional exchange, we're legally committed to complete.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

Can you visit land near Hailsham?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
