Sell your land outright in Frome

For owners in Frome and the BA11 area, an outright land sale is worth understanding before you talk to any buyer, including us.

An outright purchase, or unconditional sale, is a sale where we agree a price, exchange contracts and complete without waiting for planning permission. It's the quickest and most certain way to sell, but the price reflects the planning risk the buyer takes on.

Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • 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.

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

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.

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.

When do I get paid?

Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.

Do you buy land in Frome?

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