Is an outright land sale right for your land?
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Owners who want a clean break
- Businesses relocating from a site
- Land with a registered title and no disputes
- 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.
Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.
Costs
You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

What people ask us about an outright land sale
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.
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 buy land in Herefordshire?
Yes. We consider land across Herefordshire, from Hereford to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
