Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes

An outright sale means you're paid on completion and the land, and its risks, become ours.

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.

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.

Common questions

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.

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.

Do you buy land in Greater Manchester?

Yes. We consider land across Greater Manchester, from Manchester to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
