Is an outright land sale right for your land?
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Owners who want a clean break
- Executors winding up an estate
- Land with a registered title and no disputes
If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.
How the money works
Speed
A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.
Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.
Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.
Costs
You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

Common questions
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.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
