What to check in an outright land sale

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.

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Costs

You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

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.

How fast can an outright sale complete?

It depends on the title, searches and how quickly both solicitors work. Straightforward registered land can move quickly; we won't promise a date before seeing the title.

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 Southport?

Yes. Villages between Southport, Formby and Lytham St Annes often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
