Sell your land outright in Urmston

Before you agree an outright land sale on land near Urmston, it helps to know exactly when you'd be paid, who carries the planning risk and how the price is set.

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.

Can you pull out after exchange?

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