Our New Build Plot Sales team provides specialist legal support to residential developers, housing associations and Registered Providers across the UK. Acting on thousands of plot sales each year, we deliver a streamlined, responsive service that supports the full sales cycle - from site set-up and marketing through to exchange, completion and post-completion requirements.
As highly experienced new build conveyancing solicitors and advisers on new build plot sales, we combine scale with precision to keep transactions moving and to protect developer interests.
We advise on off-plan property sales, shared ownership disposals, leasehold and freehold plot sales, and complex portfolio developments.
Our work includes drafting and managing all documentation required for new build transactions, supporting compliance with sector standards such as the New Homes Quality Code, and guiding clients through the new build conveyancing process with clarity and efficiency.
With extensive experience acting on regeneration schemes, mixed-use developments and large phased estates, we understand the commercial pressures developers face - including build programme timings, lender requirements, reservation-to-exchange expectations and the need for clear communication with sales teams. Our approach balances high-volume delivery with senior oversight, ensuring accuracy, consistency and a smooth buyer journey.
Whether advising on a single scheme or a long-term development pipeline, we provide legal support for new build developers that is calm, commercial and aligned with each client’s operational model.
