Estate Development

The estate development team at Penman Johnson Solicitors has considerable experience of acquiring land intended for development. As such we are able to advise on “simple” purchases as well as more complex option agreements and conditional contracts including for instance, overage. We also have experience of many issues that arise on a day-to-day basis which include accessing a proposed development across common land and enlargement of access rights. Naturally, we also have considerable experience of subsequent sales whether those sales take the form of residential or commercial plots.

We are also well placed to advise you on pre-planning agreements such as Unilateral Undertakings and Section 38, 104, 106 and 278 Agreements. We are also able to assist in planning appeals.

We have acted for developers for more than 25 years, and have seen our clients' businesses grow from strength to strength. Hence, we appreciate your specific requirements, such as having a Sellers Pack in the post the day we receive details of a reservation, and tailor our services to meet them.

Our services include:

  • Site acquisitions and assembly for commercial and residential developments.
  • Advice on restrictive covenants.
  • Indemnity insurance.
  • Plot sales.
  • Land tribunal representation.

If you need advice on a legal matter please contact us, and we will respond as soon as possible, or call us on 01923 225212.
