Expert advice and commercial insight at every step

Plot sales are part of a long and often complex land development process. We help our clients at every step, ensuring minimal disruption by using our decades of experience and insight to anticipate challenges and mitigate risks. Our team has the specialist knowledge and skills you need to make your project a success, protect your assets and maximise the value of your plot sales.

We can provide support on commercial, mixed-use and residential property plot sales, including Shared Ownership, Help to Buy and outright sales. The strategic and legal guidance we provide also covers site assembly, setting up a management company for common areas, dealing with estate management, providing restriction certificates and approval of plans at the Land Registry.

Understanding the plot sales process

Our experience means we can provide a full service to our landowner and developer clients. We will prepare your legal documents so that you have everything you need for the first plot sale. We know how to optimise the process and make sure it aligns closely with your commercial and strategic goals.

A typical plot sales transaction has a number of potential challenges and causes for delay at every step, and our lawyers will ensure they don’t become a significant issue.

Our due diligence expertise

A large part of our role is the title review to ensure the land is suitable for the proposed development, that there are adequate rights of way and that there are not any indications of potential issues in the future.

If you are developing leasehold properties, we will draft appropriate leases and contracts for individual buyers, as well as produce title and contract packs for each party. Everything we do is fully compliant with the requirements of the Consumer Code for Homebuilders and the NHBC.

The practice is rated for its excellent response times, industry-specific knowledge and commercial attitude.

Minimising risk, maximising value

We advise individuals, companies, unincorporated associations, charities and both commercial and residential developers through every aspect of the land acquisition and sale process. No matter the size or complexity of the project we always give our clients clear and strategic advice tailored to their needs.

We know the property development process is about more than the law; it is about meeting commercial objectives and creating developments of the highest quality for businesses and families. That is why we work as an integrated part of our client’s project teams, responding to challenges quickly, ensuring risks are managed and minimising disruption.

From single developments to large-scale residential or mixed-use developments, our property development lawyers will help you perform due diligence, draft legal documentation, and ensure you get maximum value from your purchase or sale.

As we work with our clients throughout the entire property development process, we can provide a broader legal perspective on your project. This allows us to help you make sure you have considered all your options, and the implications of each, before you commit to a purchase or sale.

The land acquisition process

We can add value at every stage of the land acquisition process, from due diligence and strategic thinking right through to the transaction itself. Our expert land and property development lawyers will undertake all necessary searches and make enquiries as well as carry out a comprehensive investigation of the title. We will also review and draft the relevant development, planning, infrastructure and environmental agreements to ensure your project can proceed efficiently with no disruptions or delays.

We can also work with your bank or financial institution to make sure any funding transactions run as smoothly as possible. We can also work alongside our network of surveyors, accountants, architects, project managers and any other property specialists professionals to ensure you have the expertise you need at all times.

Selling land

Plot sales and the disposal of land can be a complex undertaking, especially for developments with mixed-use or bespoke buildings. Each plot may have specific requirements when it comes to the rights being granted, the rights reserved, public amenities, access and infrastructure.

Because we have a deep understanding of the entire property development process and experience of working with all the parties involved, we know the best ways to optimise the sales process and create the best value for you.

We will keep to your deadlines and push through the sale, making sure we maintain your cash flow, manage challenges and minimise your financial obligations to lenders. You can be sure that we have every detail covered, no matter how complex the process or the number of units.

The practice is rated for its excellent response times, industry-specific knowledge and commercial attitude.
