Sell your land outright in Cirencester
For owners in Cirencester and the GL7 area, an outright land sale is worth understanding before you talk to any buyer, including us.
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
- Independent advice encouraged
- We fund the planning work

When an outright land sale suits land near Cirencester
- Land with planning permission already granted

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.
How the money works
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.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Can you visit land near Cirencester?
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.
