Confirm who will acquire and commit

A project company, existing trading company or other purchaser may be proposed for different commercial reasons. We work with the relevant advisers to understand the chosen structure and identify the property documents required. The party signing heads of terms, commissioning investigations or entering the purchase contract should not be assumed interchangeable with the eventual owner without considering the legal and practical consequences.

Align ownership with the finance proposal

Lenders may require security and supporting documents involving more than the landowner alone. We consider the property aspects alongside the proposed finance arrangements and the authority needed to complete them. Any intended transfer or restructuring should be raised early. A change that appears internal to the investor group can still affect contractual rights, approvals or the timing of the acquisition.

Keep the disposal strategy visible

Whether the project will be sold as land, individual interests or through a corporate transaction affects the information future advisers will need. We help maintain a coherent property record and review development rights and agreements with that strategy in mind. Provide the ownership chart, funding proposal and expected exit route so the legal work can connect the purchase with the broader investment plan.

Frequently asked questions

Can a different group company complete the land purchase?

That depends on the contract and surrounding arrangements. The proposed change should be reviewed before assuming nomination, assignment or substitution is permitted without further steps.

Should the property solicitor see the ownership structure chart?

Yes. It helps identify the parties, proposed security and decision-making requirements, particularly where the purchaser, funder and project manager are different entities within a wider arrangement.

Does a future company sale remove the need for clear property records?

No. A buyer's advisers will still investigate the underlying property interests and obligations, so acquisition and development documentation should remain organised and accessible throughout the project.
