Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Sites where any hope value is modest
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

An outright sale means you're paid on completion and the land, and its risks, become ours.

How the money works

Planning risk

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

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.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Land registration

HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.

Common problems, and how we handle them

You think the land might get planning later

An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.

You need the money by a certain date

Tell us at the start. We'll be honest about whether that's achievable.

Common questions

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.

Can you visit land near Welshpool?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
