Multi-million-pound sale of land for housing completes

Hallam Land Management has completed on a multi-million pound sale of land which will be used to build around 100 homes in Leeds.

The land in the Adel area, which has outline planning permission, was purchased by Barratt David Wilson Homes.

Shoosmiths real estate partner Thomas Hall led on the deal, with support from senior associate David Goy, as well as support from the Shoosmiths tax team, including Daniel Kennedy, partner, and Sara Mardell, senior associate.

Hall said: “This represents an important residential development for Leeds and is part of the city’s vision for growth.  We are pleased to have been able to advise Hallam on this complex deal which had to take into account existing land agreements, multiple landowners and important infrastructure considerations.”

Rebecca Wasse, director for Hallam Land Management’s North East division, said: “We have worked extremely closely with the Leeds City Council on the plans for this site and this is the next step in ensuring the city has a fantastic, much-needed housing development that it and Barratt David Wilson Homes can be proud of.”
