Sell your land outright in Humberstone

If you own land in or around Humberstone, outright purchase is one of four ways you can sell it to us. Here's how it works and when it makes sense.

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
  • We fund the planning work

Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Sites where any hope value is modest

An outright sale means you're paid on completion and the land, and its risks, become ours.

The terms that matter

Planning risk

Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

What England's rules mean for your land

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

When the land isn't straightforward

You need the money by a certain date

Tell us at the start. We'll be honest about whether that's achievable.

A previous buyer pulled out

With an unconditional exchange, we're legally committed to complete.

Useful to send us

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

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 I still benefit if you get planning later?

Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.

Do you cover the villages around Humberstone?

Yes. Villages between Humberstone, Leicester and Oadby often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
