Sell your land outright in Purley
We offer an outright land sale on land across Greater London, including sites around Purley, Coulsdon and South Croydon.
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.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them

Who an outright land sale works best for
- Executors winding up an estate
- Businesses relocating from a site
- Land with a registered title and no disputes
- Owners who've had a sale fall through
If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.
How the money works
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.
Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.
Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.
