Buying Land to Build On
If you are looking to buy land to build on, then our solicitors are on hand to help. Whether you are purchasing a small plot or many acres of land, we will help you through the legal process and associated transactions.
Land conveyancing is the process in which rights and interests related to land are transferred from one person to another. This includes land purchases, sales, re-mortgages and transfers of equity.

The process of buying land in England & Wales
Over 10,000 people self-build their home each year. Finding and buying land is not always as simple as finding a home.
Engaging the services of a conveyancing solicitor who is specifically experienced in the process of buying land should be your first point of call.
We can carry out several checks including local authority searches for water and drainage issues and environmental searches, which will uncover any issues such as land contamination.
The exact searches required for the plot of land you are buying will be specific to the type of land and the local area.
Finding Land for Sale
After finding suitable land for sale you will need to establish if it will work for your requirements. There are then various legal procedures which need managing when buying land for residential purposes.
Whether you are a developer or self-builder, our residential property law specialists are experienced in helping to make the process as quick and hassle-free as possible.
Residential Land Advice
We provide support and legal advice on:
- All legal documents connected to the proposed development and the residential land acquisition
- Boundaries, footpaths, access, easements and the rights of neighbouring landowners
- Informing the current landowner of your intention to use the plot as a residential development and any VAT issues arising
- Land research
- All documentation surrounding the actual purchase
We understand how important speed and efficiency are when buying residential land and we will keep you up to date throughout the process with full transparency on fees from the outset.
We are also able to advise on the issue of ‘clawback’, where the seller of the land is looking to impose rights that entitle them to a share of the increased value of the land, should planning permission be obtained for future development.
The process of buying land for development can sometimes uncover unexpected legal issues.
How We Can Help
We understand that buying any land can be stressful. Using our experience and wealth of knowledge, we can offer expert advice on all land purchase issues based on your individual requirements.
