What people ask us about an outright land sale
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.
When do I get paid?
Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
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 Caernarfon?
Yes. Villages between Caernarfon, Llangefni and Bangor often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
