Whether you’re a landowner, property developer or investor, our approach will always start with understanding your commercial objectives. Our experienced development team is led by Sara Lawson.
Landowners
At Max Engel, we can guide you through the process of either selling your land to a developer or granting them rights to promote the land for development or granting them a option to apply for planning to develop your land. We have acted for many farmers in selling all or part of their land and ensure we advise you carefully on rights and reservations required when only part of the farmland is sold to ensure you can still access and manage the rest of your farmland.
Developers and Investors
We act for several commercial property developers and investors on residential and commercial sites, and for land promoters. Whether it’s acquisition or disposal, land promotion, joint ventures, planning, construction, plot sales or development finance, we’ll work with you as part of your extended team, keeping your commercial aims in mind, and helping you achieve them. In addition, we provide a full land law service and can advise on title issues, such as adverse possession or boundary disputes and covenants affecting ownership.
We can advise you on numerous types of agreements

Energy Sector
We also have experience in acting for landowners on various solar farm projects and can advise you and guide you through the legal process of entering into agreement for leases for solar leases and options to grant solar leases, and battery storage leases.
