Sell your land outright in Epsom

If you own land near Epsom, 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.

Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Sites where any hope value is modest
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

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

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.

Costs

You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

What England's rules mean for your land

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

Questions from landowners near Epsom

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.

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.

Do you buy land in Epsom?

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