Legal Advice for Residential Development & Plot Sales

Back to Development

The team at Harrison Drury understand that plot sales are technical transactions that require specialist legal expertise. We have a dedicated, specialist team of lawyers who have a wealth of experience acting for both regional and national developers, housebuilders and landowners providing a tailored, responsive and efficient service.

With one of the largest property teams in the North West, Harrison Drury can handle large scale plot sales, driving efficiency and exemplary delivery in often tight timescales where developers want to realise profits quickly. We understand that time is money and that plot sales are one step in a long and often complex land development process. Our experienced team works with clients at every step in the process, with dedicated specialists providing support in each area of development, protecting your assets and maximising the value of your plot sales. 

Our expertise extends to commercial, mixed-use and residential property plot sales as well as including wider experience in shared ownership, help to buy and outright sales.  We will work closely with you, forming an accessible and effective extension of your team to provide both strategic and legal guidance on site assembly, estate management and formation of management companies for communal areas as well as liaison with Land Registry. 

Arranging the legal framework behind property development projects can be extremely complicated and time consuming. Having experienced and commercially aware solicitors at the helm can save you a substantial amount of time and money, both of which are essential in this deadline driven sector. Our team will utilise an efficient and optimised process to prepare your legal documents so that you have everything you need for your first and subsequent plot sales as well as proactively identify potential challenges and issues ahead of time to facilitate the smooth running of your sales.

The team understand the market and are known not only for their legal expertise, but for their ability to apply pragmatism to situations to make sure they obtain the best commercial outcome for their client.  They enjoy trusted relationships with a large number of developers, from developments of three units to several hundred. We work closely with our clients to navigate the ever-changing and often turbulent property market in the UK, providing highly responsive support and guidance which takes account of your sales targets enabling you to achieve your wider business objectives.  We will also work closely with your selling agents, where appropriate, to ensure seamless delivery to both you and your purchasers.
