What is plot sales conveyancing?
Plot sales conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a piece of land or plot from the seller to the buyer. It involves various legal procedures such as title searches, property inspections, and drafting of contracts to ensure a smooth and secure transaction.
Plot sales conveyancing goes beyond the basics of property law. It requires an in-depth understanding of development-specific challenges, such as compliance with planning obligations, resolving easements, and managing sales contracts tailored to diverse housing types. For developers, navigating these complexities efficiently can be the difference between a seamless sales process and costly delays.

What is a plot sale?
A plot sale refers to the sale of an individual parcel of land, often as part of a larger development or subdivision project. Developers commonly undertake plot sales when dividing a larger piece of land into smaller plots, which are then sold to individual buyers or organisations for residential, commercial, or mixed-use development.
The importance of proactive legal support
Proactive legal support means anticipating challenges before they arise. For example, ensuring building covenants and rights of way are settled during land purchase helps to avoid disputes during plot sales. Addressing local authority requirements, environmental concerns, and infrastructure provisions at an early stage streamlines the overall process.
How Moore Barlow can help
As a developer, you know that the days of uniform plots with standardised housing are long gone. On many sites, almost every property is unique, every plot is different and every sale is bound to be more complex than it used to be.
That complexity comes in many forms, for instance in accommodating multiple housing types including the need for social housing. Developing public amenities and commercial opportunities demands specialist support.
Having a single specialist team that manages the land purchase and plot sales enables issues such as access, rights of way and building covenants to be addressed before they manifest.
We also draw on our detailed knowledge of your buyers’ needs, gained with our full conveyancing service to buyers of new build properties from developers.
