When an outright land sale suits land near Grays

  • 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

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.

Costs

You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.
