Who an outright land sale works best for
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Executors winding up an estate
- Sites where any hope value is modest
- 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.

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.
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 cover the villages around Seaford?
Yes. Villages between Seaford, Rottingdean and Eastbourne often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
