Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • 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

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.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Questions from landowners near Shrewsbury

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 Shrewsbury?

Yes. We consider land in and around Shrewsbury and across Shropshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
