Property Development Lawyers with Commercial Expertise

Since 2000, Ashworths has been a trusted partner for property developers and professionals. Our experienced solicitors provide expert guidance throughout every stage of your project—from site assembly to plot sales—working alongside you as an integral part of your team.

Site Assembly and Acquisition

Ashworths specialise in site assembly and strategic acquisitions. We advise developers, investors, and landowners on acquiring and assembling multiple land interests to facilitate development projects. Our work includes negotiating conditional contracts and options, managing complex title structures, advising on rights, access, and restrictive covenants, and coordinating acquisitions to meet planning and funding requirements. We take a strategic, commercially focused approach to minimise risk and unlock development value. From initial structuring through to completion, we provide clear, proactive advice to ensure site assembly projects progress efficiently and successfully.

Plot Sales

Ashworths specialise in plot sales for developers, investors, and landowners. We provide expert advice on the acquisition, development and sale of individual plots, residential or commercial development land, and strategic land parcels. Our services include negotiating contracts, advising on title, planning, restrictive covenants, and development obligations, and ensuring transactions are structured to protect your commercial interests. We work closely with clients, agents, and other advisers to manage due diligence, contracts, and completion efficiently. With a practical and commercially minded approach, we help clients achieve smooth, timely, and successful plot sales that maximise value and minimise risk.

Options and
Conditional Contracts

Ashworths specialise in options and conditional contracts. We advise developers, investors, and landowners on structuring and negotiating options agreements and conditional contracts to secure land for future development. Our work covers drafting clear, enforceable agreements, managing legal risks, advising on rights, obligations, planning conditions, and funding requirements, and coordinating with stakeholders to ensure smooth transactions. We focus on protecting your commercial interests while providing practical, strategic advice throughout the process. Whether securing a single site or multiple land interests, we help clients progress projects efficiently, minimise risk, and achieve their development objectives with confidence.
