Residential Property

Development schemes

You don’t have to be a property developer to make the most of your property and to realise its development potential. These days many ordinary home owners are seeking planning permission to develop their surplus land or to convert redundant buildings or property.

We can assist with all types of development schemes, from the one-off purchase of land for a single dwelling to buying land or property for a major development.  We have expertise in setting up leasehold flat schemes for converted properties and new builds, in freehold plot sales and in sales of land for development.  We are happy to help both the novice and the experienced developer.  

We will give you a fixed price quote so you know the cost from the outset.  The person dealing with your matter will communicate in the manner you prefer, whether that is email, phone, letter, text or meeting.

Our Litigation department offers valuable support in this area.  This has included taking proceedings in the Lands Tribunal to lift restrictive covenants on land which may prevent development.  Our litigators can also advise on a number of other contentious issues which may arise in relation to development property.

Our specialists in this area are Barbara Hunt and Michelle Reed, or for contentious aspects Ken McEwan and Richard Gore.
