Sell your land outright in Leatherhead
Choosing how to sell matters as much as choosing who to sell to. For land near Leatherhead, an outright land sale trades certainty and timing in a particular way.
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.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them
- No pressure to decide

Your questions answered
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.
When do I get paid?
Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Do you cover the villages around Leatherhead?
Yes. Villages between Leatherhead, Epsom and Ewell often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
