Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • Sites where any hope value is modest
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

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

Speed

A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.

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.
