How the money works
Planning risk
Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.

Title
Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.
Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Questions from landowners in Northamptonshire
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.
Does an outright sale pay the most?
Usually not, for land without permission. You're trading some price for speed and certainty. A conditional deal or option may pay more but takes longer.
Do you buy land in Northamptonshire?
Yes. We consider land across Northamptonshire, from Northampton to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
