Sell your land outright in Ilford

If you own land in or around Ilford, outright purchase is one of four ways you can sell it to us. Here's how it works and when it makes sense.

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
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • Independent advice encouraged

When an outright land sale suits land near Ilford

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

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.

Costs

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

Questions from landowners near Ilford

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.

Can I still benefit if you get planning later?

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

Can you pull out after exchange?

No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.

Do you cover the villages around Ilford?

Yes. Villages between Ilford, Barking and Becontree often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
