Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Land with a registered title and no disputes
  • 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 to check in an outright land sale

Planning risk

Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Costs

You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

Questions from landowners near Washwood Heath

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.

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.

Can you pull out after exchange?

No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
