Sell your land outright in Heywood

If you own land in or around Heywood, 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.

  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide
  • We fund the planning work

Who an outright land sale works best for

  • 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

If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.

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.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Rules that apply in England

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

Common problems, and how we handle them

You think the land might get planning later

An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.

You need the money by a certain date

Tell us at the start. We'll be honest about whether that's achievable.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access

Your questions answered

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 cover the villages around Heywood?

Yes. Villages between Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
