Sell your land outright in Sale
If you own land in or around Sale, 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.

This is the route for land with planning permission, for executors who need to wind up an estate, and for anyone who'd rather not wait.
The terms that matter
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.

Common questions
What is an outright land sale?
A sale with no conditions such as planning permission. Once contracts are exchanged, both sides are committed to complete on the agreed date.
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.
Can you visit land near Sale?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
