How the money works

Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

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.
