Sell your land outright in South Croydon
Before you agree an outright land sale on land near South Croydon, it helps to know exactly when you'd be paid, who carries the planning risk and how the price is set.
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.

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.
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.
