Who an outright land sale works best for
- Land with planning permission already granted
- Owners who want a clean break
- Executors winding up an estate
- Businesses relocating from a site
- Sites where any hope value is modest
If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.
The terms that matter
Planning risk
Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.
Speed
A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.
Overage
Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.
Costs
You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

Questions from landowners in West Sussex
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 you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
Do you buy land in West Sussex?
Yes. We consider land across West Sussex, from Crawley to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
