Property Development Conveyancing
Legal expertise that builds around your project, not the other way round.
Bringing a development project to life means juggling a lot at once: tight timelines, funding pressures, planning issues, and multiple moving parts. Without solid legal support behind you, it’s easy for delays and costly mistakes to creep in.
What is property development conveyancing?
Property development conveyancing is the legal process behind buying, developing, and selling land or property for development.
It involves checking titles, handling planning issues, drafting agreements, and making sure every part of the deal works, on paper and in practice.
We can advise and represent on all legal aspects of property development, including:
- Site assembly
- Tax matters
- Option and overage agreements
- Development finance
- Development Agreements
- Planning
- Plot Sales
- Environment considerations
- Dispute resolution
Why do I need a property development solicitor?
Time is money. Delays can spiral financing costs, lapse planning permissions, and cause buyers or funders to walk away.
A solicitor who understands development will keep your project moving by spotting problems early, coordinating with agents, lenders and consultants, and dealing with legal hurdles before they become hold-ups. That might mean checking access rights before contracts are signed, flagging title issues that could delay funding, or negotiating important planning terms to avoid costly restrictions later on.

Conveyancing For Property Developers FAQs
When should I instruct a conveyancer for a development project?
Ideally, you should instruct a conveyancer before you agree to the heads of terms or commit to buying land. Early advice can help you avoid hidden title issues, restrictive covenants, or planning conditions that could delay or derail the project.
But it’s not too late if you’ve already gone past that point. We can still review your position, help you manage risks, or renegotiate terms where needed.
Can you help with land assembly for residential development?
We regularly assist developers in piecing together multiple parcels of land, resolving boundary issues, negotiating access rights, and drafting agreements with adjoining landowners.
Do you advise on option agreements & overage clauses?
We can help you secure land using option agreements or conditional contracts and draft overage clauses that protect your future uplift if planning is granted or the land is sold.
What support do you provide during plot sales?
We manage the legal side of every sale, including drafting plot sale contracts, replying to buyer enquiries, coordinating with agents and buyers’ solicitors, and handling the registration process. This helps ensure your sales progress smoothly and on time.
Can you work to tight development deadlines?
We understand the pressures of development finance and building schedules. We’ll work quickly, keep everyone updated, and prioritise urgent matters so legal delays don’t delay your build or exit.
