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
- Sites where any hope value is modest
This is the route for land with planning permission, for executors who need to wind up an estate, and for anyone who'd rather not wait.
How the money works
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.

Common questions
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.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
Do you buy land in Oxfordshire?
Yes. We consider land across Oxfordshire, from Oxford to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
