What to check in an outright land sale
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.
Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.
Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

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.
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.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
Can you visit land near Oakham?
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.
