Sale and Purchase of Land

There are many reasons for purchasing and selling land, from buying a small piece of land from your neighbour, to buying a large site for housing development or to prevent such development, to purchasing or selling farmland, investment land or woodland.

Whether you are a developer, landowner, estate owner or individual, we will advise on all aspects of the land purchase or sale, working in accordance with your project’s time frames.

Whilst the conveyancing process of land is similar to standard property conveyancing, it can present unique challenges, including rights of access and light, boundaries, Covenants / restrictions, planning permission, water and drainage, utilities and services, contamination and environmental and nature conservation issues.

We will help you negotiate and deal effectively with these issues and our expertise and experience enables us to foresee potential problems before they arise to achieve a positive outcome for our clients within a reasonable time frame.
