Who an outright land sale works best for

  • Land with planning permission already granted
  • Owners who want a clean break
  • 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

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.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Costs

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

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

What England's rules mean for your land

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

When the land isn't straightforward

You think the land might get planning later

An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.

You need the money by a certain date

Tell us at the start. We'll be honest about whether that's achievable.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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 Trowbridge?

Yes. Villages between Trowbridge, Westbury and Melksham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
