Sell your land outright in Dartford
We offer an outright land sale on land across Kent, including sites around Dartford, Bexley and Swanley.
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.

Questions from landowners near Dartford
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Dartford?
Yes. Villages between Dartford, Bexley and Swanley often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
