Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Businesses relocating from a site
  • Sites where any hope value is modest

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

How the money works

Planning risk

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

Overage

Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Deposit

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

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.

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.

Do you buy land in Shipley?

Yes. We consider land in and around Shipley and across West Yorkshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
