Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Sites where any hope value is modest
  • 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 people ask us about an outright land sale

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.

When do I get paid?

Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.

Can you visit land near South Benfleet?

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.
