Buying a plot of land, whether to build on or for any other purpose, is often quite different from purchasing a property that is already built.
Careful investigation is needed before committing to a purchase. Our legal team can assist and we recommend contacting us at the earliest opportunity.

Our dad had used Middleton Ross for his will a number of years ago, always believing in the value of working with people invested in the local community. On dads passing, from the initial discussions and guidance, through to the selling and settling of his estate, Middleton Ross were exceptional in their care and approach. The staff were great to deal with and always provided clear and honest answers to any of our requests, putting us in contact with the right person straight away. It really took the sting out of sorting everything out, having a dedicated team around us who got to know our needs and keep us right through the whole process.Recently sold our family home through Middleton Ross and they provided us with excellent support and advice throughout the whole process.

Recently sold our family home through Middleton Ross and they provided us with excellent support and advice throughout the whole process. Using their new 360 virtual tour of the property defiantly enhanced the interest during the advertising stage. Excellent communication and proactive approach through the sale and purchase conveyance process.

We used Middleton Ross solicitors for our sale of our old flat and the purchase of our new place after a friend recommendation. Madeleine Morrice was dealing with our case. She has been nothing but incredible. No chasing was required as she was always updating us, no question was silly and the answers were always very prompt. We felt the process was not stressful because Madeleine made it look like that! Although we are based in Edinburgh, that was not a problem! We can’t recommend enough the firm and Madeleine personally! Thank you so much!!We keep you updated throughout your transaction, explaining each state in plain English and with straightforward legal advice.
Yes. A Solicitor is responsible for the legal work involved in completing a plot purchase. This includes examining the title, dealing with the missives, carrying out the necessary searches and investigations, liaising with your lender where applicable, and completing the transaction at settlement.
At Middleton Ross, we can guide you through the process from your initial offer or decision to sell through to completion.
The missives are the formal letters exchanged between the buyer’s and seller’s solicitors which form the contract for the sale of the property.
They deal with matters such as the purchase price, date of entry and any additional conditions relating to the transaction.
Once the missives are concluded, the contract is legally binding.
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) is a tax that may be payable when you purchase land in Scotland.
The amount payable depends on factors including the purchase price and your circumstances. Different rates and reliefs can apply in certain circumstances, including for first-time buyers and purchasers of additional properties.
Your Solicitor will calculate the LBTT due on your purchase and can deal with the relevant return and payment on your behalf.
If we identify an issue with the property’s title, we will explain the problem to you and advise you on the options available.
Some title issues are relatively straightforward to resolve. Others may require additional documentation, enquiries or negotiations with the seller’s solicitor.
One of the key purposes of using a Solicitor is to identify potential problems in advance, to make the transaction as straightforward as possible.
As early as possible.
It is sensible to have a solicitor instructed before you make an offer so that you are ready to proceed when the right property comes along.
