Who an outright land sale works best for
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Executors winding up an estate
- 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.
How the money works
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.
Title
Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

What people ask us about an outright land sale
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.
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.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Do you buy land in Suffolk?
Yes. We consider land across Suffolk, from Ipswich to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
