Sell your land outright in Hastings
For owners in Hastings and the TN34 area, an outright land sale is worth understanding before you talk to any buyer, including us.
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
- Figures explained, so you can check them
- No pressure to decide

Your questions answered
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.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
