Sell your land outright in Winchester
Choosing how to sell matters as much as choosing who to sell to. For land near Winchester, an outright land sale trades certainty and timing in a particular way.
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.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- No pressure to decide

Common questions
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.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
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.
Do you cover the villages around Winchester?
Yes. Villages between Winchester, Eastleigh and Southampton often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
