Sell your land outright in Hereford
If you own land in or around Hereford, 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
- Independent advice encouraged

Is an outright land sale right for your land?
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Owners who want a clean break
- Sites where any hope value is modest
- Owners who've had a sale fall through
This is the route for land with planning permission, for executors who need to wind up an estate, and for anyone who'd rather not wait.
The terms that matter
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.
Overage
Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.
Title
Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

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.
When do I get paid?
Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
Can you visit land near Hereford?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
