An option and development agreements work covers contracts that give a purchaser or developer the right to buy land at a future date and to secure planning or development permissions. A solicitor drafts, negotiates and files the option deed, considers the price mechanism, and coordinates any linked development agreement, planning obligations, and collateral security. They review reserved matters, ensure triggers for exercise are clear, and manage risk around partial entries, funding, and warranties as the project progresses.

“I would like to highly recommend Karen. Over the last 25 years, I have been a property landlord and bought and sold many properties as a result. In my opinion she is the best solicitor due to her hard work in looking after her clients, progressing sales and communication to third parties. I would not hesitate to both recommend her services nor hesitate to assist me with such in the future. Thank you Karen! ”
