Whether it's a building plot, a paddock, farmland or a corner of your garden, we buy land across the UK for cash — with or without planning permission. No agents, no fees, no waiting for planning decisions: a fair offer in 24 hours and completion on your timeline.
If it's land, we're interested — regardless of planning status, access or condition.
With or without planning permission — including lapsed or refused applications.
Farmland, arable and pasture — tenanted or vacant, any acreage.
Equestrian land, grazing and amenity fields of any size.
Side plots, large gardens and infill land with development potential.
Former commercial, industrial or derelict sites — contamination considered.
Sites with long-term development potential near settlements.
Selling land the traditional way is slow and uncertain. We remove the risk.
Selling with planning can take 12–24 months with no guarantee of approval. We buy your land as-is, so you get certainty now instead of a maybe later.
Auctions mean entry fees, uncertain reserves and land that may not sell at all. Our offer is fixed the day we make it.
Access issues, restrictive covenants, tenancies, probate — we've bought land with all of them. Complications affect the price, not our interest.
We cover legal fees and there's no commission — the offer you accept is the amount you receive.
The questions landowners ask us most.
No. We buy land with or without planning — including sites where an application was refused or has lapsed. Planning status affects the offer, not whether we'll buy.
We look at location, size, access, planning potential and comparable sales nearby, then make a fair cash offer within 24 hours. There's no obligation to accept.
We regularly buy land with complications — landlocked plots, covenants, shared access, ransom strips. Tell us upfront and we'll factor it into the offer.
Yes — agricultural tenancies, grazing licences and informal arrangements are all fine. Let us know what's in place and we'll take it from there.
We do. There are no fees, commission or hidden costs at any stage — the offer you accept is what you receive on completion.
Looking to sell your land without waiting months for a marketing campaign, auction date or uncertain chain? A direct sale to a land specialist can be a practical route when speed and certainty matter more than testing the full open market. This guide explains how to sell land quickly, what affects the offer, whether planning permission is worth pursuing and which documents can help the transaction move forward.
If you are asking, "How can I sell my land quickly?", the first step is to approach a buyer who regularly purchases land in the UK. A serious land-purchasing company will want enough information to understand the site, its access, ownership, current use and development prospects. Clear information helps the buyer decide whether the site fits its plans.
Selling land for cash through a direct purchase can remove several stages from a traditional land sale. You may avoid a long marketing campaign, repeated viewings and waiting for competing offers. Completion is not immediate in every case, but the timetable can be easier to control.
Before you agree to sell the land, ask how the purchaser is funding the purchase, whether the offer is subject to planning, and what checks still need to be completed. A straight cash offer should be explained in writing, including the proposed completion date, any conditions and whether the buyer expects you to pay legal or professional costs.
A buyer needs more than a postcode and rough acreage. To estimate how much your land may be worth, expect questions about the title number, site address, size, current use and boundaries. The buyer may also ask whether the plot of land has road access, utility connections, rights of way, restrictions or planning history.
Photographs help, but an experienced land buyer may want to inspect the land in person. Site condition, nearby roads, neighbouring uses and access constraints can affect the value of your land. For a larger property or brownfield site, the buyer must understand what is included and whether it can be separated from another site or property.
You should also explain whether you own the land outright and whether anyone else has rights over it. Clear ownership of your land is important because missing title information, unclear boundaries or unregistered interests can slow the selling process. Supplying accurate information early helps the purchaser assess the site without relying on assumptions.
The main considerations for selling land are price, timing, certainty and the work required before completion. A direct sale may suit someone who wants a simpler route. An open-market campaign may suit an owner willing to wait for stronger competition. The best way to sell depends on the site and your priorities.
Consider whether you are selling land on its own or as part of a residential or commercial property. A garden strip, access road, agricultural field or site where the land could have development potential will attract different purchasers. The types of land involved affect valuation, planning risk and demand from development companies.
Do not rush to sell until you understand the offer conditions. Ask whether the price can change after surveys, whether the purchaser expects vacant possession and whether any planning or legal issue could delay completion. A fast transaction can still involve due diligence, so it is sensible to have your own solicitor review the agreement and explain any obligation on your part.
Market value reflects what a willing purchaser may pay after proper marketing. A quicker offer may be lower because the purchaser takes on planning risk, legal uncertainty, holding costs and the chance that the land might not be developed as expected. The trade-off is usually greater speed and a clearer route to completion.
The market value for your land depends on location, size, access, restrictions, planning status and comparable land for sale nearby. The value of the land also changes according to whether it is agricultural land, garden land, developable land or part of a commercial property. Direct highway access alone can create a major difference between two similar plots.
When comparing offers, look at the amount you are likely to receive at completion rather than the opening figure. Check whether the price is fixed, whether professional fees will be deducted and whether the purchaser can provide a cash offer within a realistic timeframe. A purchaser should not keep you waiting with a cash offer after receiving the information needed to assess the site.
Yes, it may be possible to sell your land quickly, including unwanted land, but the speed depends on how easy the site is to identify, access and transfer. Small pieces of land can still interest neighbours, builders, investors or cash buyers, especially when they improve access, provide parking, extend a garden or create land for development.
The complexities of land sales increase when the site is unregistered, lacks direct access or is split from a larger title. A solicitor may need to prepare a transfer plan and confirm new boundaries. HM Land Registry documents must clearly match the land both parties intend to transfer.
If you want to sell land fast, gather the title details, mark the boundaries clearly and explain any access arrangements before seeking offers. This gives purchasers a better basis for assessing the site and reduces the risk of confusion later. No matter how big or small your land is, it will be easier to sell when the purchaser knows exactly what is included.
Planning permission can increase interest by reducing uncertainty about what may be built. Land with planning permission may attract more purchasers and achieve a stronger price than land without an approved scheme. Obtaining planning is not always quick, cheap or guaranteed.
Before submitting a planning application, consider the likely use, local planning policies, access, drainage, ecology, design and the cost of professional reports. You may need advice from a planning consultant, architect, surveyor or transport specialist. Obtaining planning can take time, and an application may be refused or approved with conditions that affect the economics of the project.
Selling land with planning permission may make sense where the potential uplift justifies the cost and delay. Selling without planning may be better when you need certainty, do not want to fund the application or prefer the purchaser to take on the risk. Planning consent is valuable only when the scheme is practical, financeable and attractive to the market.
Selling through an estate agent can expose the land to a wider market. A specialist land agent can prepare details, contact developers looking for suitable sites and manage offers. This common selling approach works best when the site has broad appeal and you can allow time for marketing and due diligence.
Land at auction can produce a faster, fixed timetable. Once the hammer falls, the successful bidder normally enters a binding contract under the auction terms and pays a deposit. Selling at auction may suit UK land with a clear title, realistic pricing and enough demand to create competition. The risk is that the reserve may not be met, while auction fees and legal preparation still need to be considered.
A property auction is not automatically the quickest or most profitable route. Selling your land via an agent may bring more interested parties, while a direct sale may offer more privacy and fewer stages. Compare the main ways to sell your land based on likely price, fees, preparation, timescale and the chance of the transaction falling through.
The appraisal starts with the estimated value of the completed project and works backwards. Deductions may include construction, finance, professional fees, planning, infrastructure, sales costs, risk and profit. The remaining figure helps determine the supported purchase price.
For land suitable for development, access and planning prospects are often as important as size. A brownfield site may already have buildings, contamination or demolition costs. Agricultural land may have limited development prospects. A site or property that could support housing may still be difficult to develop if it lacks access, drainage capacity or a realistic planning route.
The buyer may compare recent transactions and current land for sale across the UK, but comparable evidence is rarely identical. A responsible valuation should explain the assumptions behind the offer. If you want to sell to us or another direct purchaser, ask what development scenario has been used, which costs have been allowed for and whether the price is conditional on further investigations.
Start with the HM Land Registry title register and title plan if the land is registered. These show the registered owner, title number and entries affecting the land. Your solicitor may also need identification, proof of address, evidence of how you acquired the site and information about mortgages, charges, restrictions or third-party rights.
Provide any planning permission documents, drawings, decision notices, surveys, leases, licences, environmental reports and correspondence about access or services. If you are selling plots of land from a larger title, a clear transfer plan is essential. Existing rights of way, covenants and agreements with neighbours should be disclosed so the purchaser can assess them.
The exact paperwork depends on the site. Selling property can require more documents, especially when you are selling your property with buildings, tenants or commercial use. If you're selling part of a larger title, the transfer plan must show the land clearly. Preparing the file early can shorten the process of selling and help your solicitor respond quickly to enquiries.
Begin by collecting the title information, photographs, site plan, planning history and a short description of the land. Then decide whether your priority is the highest possible price, a quick completion or a balance between the two. This will help you choose between an agent, auction and direct purchaser.
When you're looking to sell your land, contact experienced land buyers and ask for a confidential chat about your land. A credible purchaser should explain what information they need, how they assess the site and whether they can provide a free land valuation. They should also make clear whether the proposal is a direct purchase, an option agreement or another selling option.
If you want to sell land, compare the full terms rather than choosing the largest opening figure. Confirm the timescale, funding, legal process and any conditions. There should be no obligation on your part until you accept the agreement and receive independent legal advice. The right purchaser should help you sell your land with a process that is clear from the first conversation to completion.
