Sale and Purchase of Land
There are many reasons why people choose to sell or purchase additional land, from selling land to make a profit on space that is not used, to purchasing a site to protect it from future development.
Whilst the sale and purchase of land is very similar to the process of conveyancing it can present its own unique challenges, so instructing a legal expert who specialises in the sale and purchase of land can be invaluable.
Whether you’re looking to sell land to your neighbour from your garden or buy a large site for development the commercial property team at Rothera Bray have the experience and expertise to help you.
Why instruct Rothera Bray on the sale and purchase of land?
We act for developers, landowners, house builders and house providers.
We work with you to understand the nature of your transaction and provide you with advice tailored to your situation.
We can assist with the sale or purchase of farmland, land for development, paddocks, amenity land for your existing property, investment land or woodland.
If you are buying land for development, we will undertake all standard searches and any additional specific searches on your behalf.
We can advise buyers on various planning issues or covenants/restrictions that could affect how you use the land.
If you are selling land, we can help you to create a contract pack and identify issues with your legal title early in the process.
Our experience means we have the insight to foresee potential problems before they arise, especially in relation to access issues, third party rights, existing utilities and services and ownership title.
We can help you with:
- Strategic land
- Joint ventures
- Development finance
- Plot sales
- Collaboration agreements

Carol Freeman and her team were simply brilliant in the handling of our sale and purchase when we recently moved down to Suffolk. With their help and support a stressful and at times complicated transaction was made to seem easy.

This divorce started off as a very stressful time for me, but the professional support, on a very specialised subject, provided by Rothera Bray, made all the difference... I can only describe Rebecca as my “GUARDIAN ANGEL” who manifested in human form to offer guidance, support and protection. At the very first telephone call I had with Rebecca, I could sense only fantastic positive vibes, that made me feel comfortable.

This house move for us at my age and health conditions could have been highly stressful as well as physically and mentally challenging. I must give all credit to our representative Deepika Vadher. Her communication was swift and sharp. I genuinely felt assured that my interests were a priority. I am most grateful for such a smooth and swift outcome.

Excellent service and communication through-out the process. The process is also totally digital thus, gave me that flexibility to conduct the transaction remotely. A target date was set and achieved. Thank you to Rothera Bray and especially Fatima! Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rothera Bray Solicitors during a challenging divorce process, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their guidance and support were invaluable, making a difficult time much more manageable. A special shout-out to Rebecca Hudson, my solicitor, who was exceptional throughout the entire process. Rebecca's expertise, compassion, and dedication were evident from our first interaction. She provided clear, practical advice and was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. Her professionalism and empathy helped me navigate the complexities of divorce with confidence and peace of mind.

I had an outstanding experience with Rothera & Bray, particularly with Sarrina Mills and Tina Rana. They were both incredibly professional and attentive in addressing my queries. They went above and beyond to ensure the smooth exchange of contracts and successful purchase of my property, all while working diligently to complete the process before the stamp duty increase. This is the second time I’ve worked with Rothera Bray, and once again, they have exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the exceptional services of Sarrina and Tina.
