    Purchasing development land covers due diligence on title, checking planning constraints, and negotiating transfer of a site for a project. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the contract, conducts comprehensive property and planning searches, interprets title documents, and coordinates with lenders, planners, and the seller to secure a binding disposition and prerequisites such as planning consents and infrastructure obligations. The work often involves options, conditional contracts, and ensuring the land is suitable for development under relevant planning policy and zoning rules.
