Who an outright land sale works best for
- Owners who want a clean break
- Executors winding up an estate
- 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.
The terms that matter
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.

Common questions
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 Staffordshire?
Yes. We consider land across Staffordshire, from Stoke-on-Trent to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
