For developers

Are you a developer?

Selling new homes isn’t like selling any other property.

You’re working to sales targets, maintaining cash flow that relies on plots completing on time, and answering to consumer codes that expect more of developers every year. You need a legal team that understands all of that and treats your sale as the commercial priority it is. We can help on two fronts: selling your plots, or acting for the people who buy them.

Our specialist plot-conveyancing team has been doing this for decades, including time spent in-house with developers, and has acted for builders of all sizes — national, regional and local. If you’re bringing a site to market and are looking for a firm to handle your plot sales, or to look after your buyers, get in touch and we’ll show you how we’d work with you. You can also see New Homes and Residential Development for the wider picture.

Two ways we can help

1
Selling your plots
When we handle your plot sales, we work the way you work. We help you to have sales information readily available by setting up live updates, or reporting that works for you. We tailor precedent documents and streamline processes, then keep things moving plot after plot. We draft to protect your interests while keeping you compliant with the Consumer Code for Home Builders or the New Homes Quality Code, if they apply, and we understand the timing that matters to you, turning plots around so your funding keeps flowing.
Delay in new-build sales often comes when buyers instruct solicitors who don’t specialise in new-build work. We guide them, give them what they need, keep you informed and keep everyone moving towards completion, because a smooth, helpful process is what keeps buyers committed and lifts your conversion rate. And when the market is harder, we know the options open to you — from shared equity to discounted properties to custom build — we can adapt with you and ensure marketability.

Acting for your buyers as your recommended solicitor
If we’re not selling your plots, we can join your panel of preferred solicitors and act for your buyers. For you, that means your buyers are in the hands of an experienced new-build conveyancer who keeps their purchase on track, which protects your pipeline and your completion dates. For them, it means proper, independent advice — and a buyer who feels well looked after is a buyer who completes, and that reflects well on you.
