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

An outright sale means you're paid on completion and the land, and its risks, become ours.
The terms that matter

Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.
Title
Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.
Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

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