Frequently Asked Questions
Residential development involves the purchase of land for the purpose of building houses or flats, before carving up the land during the planning process and thereafter selling the individual houses or flats to make a profit. Projects can vary greatly in size, from small developments to those on a much larger scale — known as major residential developments.
A major residential development is classified as a project that consists of 10 or more houses or flats, or where the buildings have a floor space of at least 1,000 square metres. Such schemes will require planning permission to ensure disruption to the local area is kept to a minimum.
Residential development projects are complex, multifaceted operations with unique challenges to navigate through. Working with a specialist team ensures all your requirements will be met, potential pitfalls are avoided, and your scheme is able to be as profitable and hassle-free as possible enabling you to concentrate on construction and securing sales whilst we carry out the legal work.
