What is involved in selling land?

What is involved in selling land?

We focus on optimising value by working with our trusted partners and help secure planning consents on potential residential development land. Our in-depth knowledge of the complex planning regulations makes us the ideal company for landowners keen to promote and maximise their land’s potential to the open market. We can of course also work “off-market” with carefully targeted and qualified developers where landowners want confidentiality. Through local knowledge and research of local authority’s housing land supply, we are able to identify and promote sites that are suitable and have good prospects for housing development.

Once planning has been secured, we work to achieve the maximum value by offering the land for sale to a large number of housebuilders and developers. This enables us to create competitive bidding scenarios – you the landowner are then safe in the knowledge that we have secured the true value of your asset.

If you have a plot of land for sale, or if you own a house with a large garden or vacant ground that you believe may be suitable for redevelopment, gives us a call and we will let you know all your options.

Jonathan handled the process of negotiating a selling price for my property in a very professional manner. He was extremely responsive - keeping me up to date at all times by email and phone. The weekend team were also very helpful and seamlessly picked up the matter in Jonathan's absence.
Mags
Amazing service provided by Jonathan. Always professional and happy on the phone and kept me up-to-date at all times. Would definitely recommend Jonathan and McEwan Fraser Legal to anyone thinking of selling their house. Amazing service provided by Graeme. Very professional at all times and explained the process of putting my house on the market throughly. My house was under offer within two weeks of being put live on the market! Couldn't have asked for a better service. Thank you so much.

I contacted McEwan Fraser to begin the sale of my property and I must say how impressed I was with the professionalism of Jonathan Baillie and appreciate his guidance, knowledge and help through the selling/marketing of my property. Jonathan was always available if I needed his advice. Thank you Jonathan! You helped me achieve a very good offer for my house! Rosemary

My name is Thomas L and I sold my property with McEwan Fraser Legal at Claremont House 130 East Claremont Street, Edinburgh. I was assisted by both Natasha and Donald who helped me navigate the Scottish system for purchasing a property from putting in a notice of interest through to completion. I would definitely recommend MFL.

She walked us through exactly what the company can do for us that other agents can not. We were amazed by...

Approached Mcewan Fraser legal to start the sale process on our flat. Our first point of contact was our property surveyor Gary Wales who we found to be very knowledgable on the selling area and set a good professional example of what Mcewan Fraser could offer us. Gary was easy to contact at all points of the day via email or phone and always offered good advice to help us through the process. Would highly recommend Gary to any potential sellers especially if its your...
