Sell your land outright in Ashton-in-Makerfield

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

  • Independent advice encouraged
  • We fund the planning work

Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • Sites where any hope value is modest

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

The terms that matter

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.

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Costs

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