Sell your land outright in Newmarket

If you own land near Newmarket, you may be wondering whether an outright land sale would suit you. The answer depends on your land's planning prospects and how soon you want to be paid.

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
  • Independent advice encouraged
  • We fund the planning work

Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • 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

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.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Deposit

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

With an unconditional exchange, we're legally committed to complete.

Questions from landowners near Newmarket

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 you pull out after exchange?

No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.

Do you buy land in Newmarket?

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