What to check in an outright land sale
Planning risk
Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.
Overage
Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.
Title
Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.
Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Your questions answered
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.
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 you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
Do you buy land in Shropshire?
Yes. We consider land across Shropshire, from Telford to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
