When an outright land sale suits land in Merseyside
- 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
- Sites where any hope value is modest
An outright sale means you're paid on completion and the land, and its risks, become ours.
How the money works
Planning risk
Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.
Speed
A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.
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.

Your questions answered
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.
Do you buy land in Merseyside?
Yes. We consider land across Merseyside, from Liverpool to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
