Sell your land outright in Salford

If you own land in or around Salford, 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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • We fund the planning work

Free and no obligation. We're the buyer, so there's no commission.

Where Salford sits

Salford (M6) sits in OS grid square SJ89, some 2 miles west of Manchester. Sites between here and Eccles or Manchester are just as much of interest to us.

A dense urban core where most new homes are on brownfield land, with green belt on the edges climbing towards the Pennines.

Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • 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.

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.

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Costs

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

Land registration

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

When the land isn't straightforward

You think the land might get planning later

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

A previous buyer pulled out

With an unconditional exchange, we're legally committed to complete.

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 buy land in Salford?

Yes. We consider land in and around Salford and across Greater Manchester. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
