Getting involved in developing land can bring a mix of both opportunities and challenges.

We have a wealth of experience in acquiring land for development and plot sales and can assist with all phases of your development.

Land acquisitions

When acquiring land for potential development there is also a lot to take into consideration.

Planning permission, highways agreements, environmental investigations, agreements for utilities, and the commercial terms of the deal are all factors that need to be taken into account.

The Rothera Bray commercial property team have a wealth of experience in advising on land acquisitions and will work with you to ensure the land can be developed on time and within budget, giving you the maximum return on investment.

Plot sales

Plot sales are becoming more complex, with each plot now likely to be different compared to the standardised housing of previous years.

We act for house builders and developers to consider factors relating to plot sales including:

  • access to the site and rights of way
  • roads
  • utilities and services
  • planning consent
  • boundaries

We can help you with drafting and preparing residential plot sale agreements, leases and transfers.

Why instruct Rothera Bray for land acquisitions and plot sales?

We:

  • advise both residential and commercial property developers
  • pride ourselves on our expertise and attention to detail
  • ensure your matter is conducted in a timely manner
  • act for a wide variety of developers and clients within the construction industry

We can advise property developers on sites of varying sizes including single developments, large residential housing estates and mixed-use developments.

Our experience means we can spot and act on any issues with your land acquisition early to avoid delays later down the line prior to selling your plots.

We can draw on the skills of colleagues in our litigation and company commercial teams.

We can help you with:

  • Acquisitions
  • Disposals
  • Planning permission requirements
  • Management company establishment/set up
  • Environmental issues
  • Agreements for utilities
  • Commercial development funding
  • Plot Sales
