Sell your land outright in Southend-on-Sea

We offer an outright land sale on land across Essex, including sites around Southend-on-Sea, Rayleigh and Canvey Island.

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
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

When an outright land sale suits land near Southend-on-Sea

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Businesses relocating from a site

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.
