Sell your land outright in Colne

We offer an outright land sale on land across Lancashire, including sites around Colne, Nelson and Burnley.

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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them

Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Sites where any hope value is modest

If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.

The terms that matter

Speed

A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Deposit

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

What people ask us about an outright land sale

What is an outright land sale?

A sale with no conditions such as planning permission. Once contracts are exchanged, both sides are committed to complete on the agreed date.

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.
