Sell your land outright in Cardiff
Choosing how to sell matters as much as choosing who to sell to. For land near Cardiff, an outright land sale trades certainty and timing in a particular way.
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.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- We fund the planning work

Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.
