Is an outright land sale right for your land?
- Owners who want a clean break
- Businesses relocating from a site
- Land with a registered title and no disputes
- 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.
The terms that matter
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.
Overage
Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.
Costs
You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

Your questions answered
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.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Do you buy land in South Yorkshire?
Yes. We consider land across South Yorkshire, from Sheffield to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
