Property development starts with buying the property but also involves planning and building regulation issues and negotiation over rights to benefit the property either with the local authority or other neighbouring land owners. And then once the building work is done there is the need to create the correct legal title for the property to be sold easily, particularly if a conversion into flats is contemplated.

Often a lot of the problems that can crop up later in a development can be resolved by correct and timely negotiation at the time of the acquisition of the property. So it is definitely worth investing in the right advice and we can help you right away so please call or email us now.

The cost of buying a property can often seem very high and generally this is because there is a tax imposed by the government.

There is nothing that can be done about this, it applies to every property with a sale value of £125,000 or more save in certain restricted areas of the country. It is an important consideration though and as the tax starts at 1% of the purchase price, rising to 3% at the highest price bands, it can play an important part in the negotiations you have over the price you are prepared to buy at.
