Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

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

What people ask us about an outright land sale
Does an outright sale pay the most?
Usually not, for land without permission. You're trading some price for speed and certainty. A conditional deal or option may pay more but takes longer.
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.
