Are you a buyer or seller of land that might be used for development?
At HSR Law, we have specialist legal advisers who can help buyers and sellers of land that might be used for development; whether that land is going to be developed now, or in the future.
We advise our clients on all of the detailed and specific aspects of these types of transaction which can involve giving additional consideration to just some of the following points:
- whether rights of way (for utilities and for access) are required over the land being sold or over neighbouring land;
- whether planning permission is needed for a buyer’s use;
- whether any infrastructure agreements are needed (with utility or statutory providers for drain or highway adoption);
- whether a buyer’s development plans might encroach on neighbouring properties’ rights to light / air; and
- whether the transaction should be structured in a particular way (it could be that a buyer will purchase the property under a “conditional” contract; meaning that the contract becomes a binding agreement once, for example, planning permission for a buyer’s development is granted).
We have strong, proven experience in handling large and complex property acquisitions. For more details on how we can support you or your business, contact our Commercial Property team today.
