Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Sites where any hope value is modest
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

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.

The terms that matter

Speed

A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.

Overage

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

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Questions from landowners near Barnet

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.

Can I still benefit if you get planning later?

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

Do you cover the villages around Barnet?

Yes. Villages between Barnet, Hadley Wood and Potters Bar often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
