Questions from landowners near Staines
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.
When do I get paid?
Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
