  • Owners who want a clean break

What to check in an outright land sale

Planning risk

Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.

Overage

Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Costs

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

Can I still benefit if you get planning later?

Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
