Sell your land outright in Harwich
Choosing how to sell matters as much as choosing who to sell to. For land near Harwich, 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.

Questions from landowners near Harwich
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Harwich?
Yes. Villages between Harwich, Felixstowe and Ipswich often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
