Sell your land outright in Gateshead

Your questions answered
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.
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 Gateshead?
Yes. Villages between Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Felling often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
