When an outright land sale suits land in Norfolk
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Owners who want a clean break
- Businesses relocating from a site
- 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.
The terms that matter

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

Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

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.
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.
When do I get paid?
Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
Do you buy land in Norfolk?
Yes. We consider land across Norfolk, from Norwich to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
