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

This is the route for land with planning permission, for executors who need to wind up an estate, and for anyone who'd rather not wait.

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

  3. We put an offer in writing

Can you pull out after exchange?

No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
