Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Sites where any hope value is modest
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

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

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.

Costs

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

Your questions answered

Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.

Can you pull out after exchange?

No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
