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
  • Businesses relocating from a site

If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.

What to check in an outright land sale

Planning risk

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

Overage

Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Costs

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

Common questions

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.

Can you pull out after exchange?

No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.

Yes. We consider land in and around Yarm and across North Yorkshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
