Is an outright land sale right for your land?
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Executors winding up an estate
- Businesses relocating from a site
- Land with a registered title and no disputes
- Sites where any hope value is modest
This is the route for land with planning permission, for executors who need to wind up an estate, and for anyone who'd rather not wait.
How the money works
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.
Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.
Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Questions from landowners in Surrey
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 Surrey?
Yes. We consider land across Surrey, from Woking to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
