Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • 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

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.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Costs

You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

Awkward details we deal with

What people ask us about an outright land sale

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.

Can you pull out after exchange?

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

Do you buy land in Cheshunt?

Yes. We consider land in and around Cheshunt and across Hertfordshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
