Sell your land outright in Selby

We offer an outright land sale on land across North Yorkshire, including sites around Selby, Goole and Pontefract.

An outright purchase, or unconditional sale, is a sale where we agree a price, exchange contracts and complete without waiting for planning permission. It's the quickest and most certain way to sell, but the price reflects the planning risk the buyer takes on.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • We fund the planning work

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
  • 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

Planning risk

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

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.

Questions from landowners near Selby

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 cover the villages around Selby?

Yes. Villages between Selby, Goole and Pontefract often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
