Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

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

What people ask us about an outright land sale

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.

When do I get paid?

Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.

Do you cover the villages around Newcastle upon Tyne?

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