How the money works

Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Costs

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

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 cover the villages around Hoddesdon?

Yes. Villages between Hoddesdon, Hertford and Cheshunt often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
