Site acquisition and development covers acquiring land for commercial projects, assembling parcels, negotiating option or promotion agreements, and aligning title, planning, and infrastructure together. A solicitor drafts and negotiates terms with landowners, developers, and lenders, conducts due diligence on title, rights of way, and restrictive covenants, and coordinates planning obligations such as Section 106 and highways agreements. They also oversee construction contracts, warranties, and post-completion protections to ensure the site can be developed and funded as planned.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles complex land assembly issues, title scrutiny, and negotiations around options, covenants, and planning obligations. They manage the interplay between planning consent, land ownership, and infrastructure commitments, and coordinate collateral warranties, standard forms of contract, and security packages to keep the development on track and protect the client’s position.
