Land Development

“We know the problems faced by developers and understand your business.” Martin Duck, Partner

The Government is aiming for at least 200,000 new homes to be built every year. As a result, the development sector is increasingly busy. And because the allocation of low-profit affordable housing on developments is steadily increasing, developers are facing a very real problem.

As developer margins tighten, it is vital for them to use lawyers who specialise in development and understand what they need. Very few law firms possess the necessary expertise and experience, but we at Moore Blatch have a highly respected specialist team.  Independent legal directory Chambers UK 2007 notes our “great reputation” in land development.

We know the development business, not just the law that relates to it. Our services include

  • Identification of sites and joint venture partners
  • Planning promotion
  • Acquisition of sites
  • Options, conditional contracts, joint ventures and collaboration agreements
  • Statutory agreements including planning and highways
  • Plot sales

"If a developer is to be successful in securing opportunities any edge that can be gained is essential. Quite simply, Moore Blatch are an intrinsic part of our team and help us gain that edge" Matt Paine, Linden Homes Southern
