Land and property development opportunities in Southampton
Southampton, on the south coast of England, is the largest city in Hampshire. Based 75 miles (121 km) south-west of London and 19 miles (31 km) north-west of Portsmouth, Southampton is a major port and the closest city to the New Forest. The city has an estimated population of 253,600.
Significant employers in the city include The University of Southampton, Southampton Solent University, Southampton Airport, Ordnance Survey, BBC South, the NHS, ABP and Carnival UK.
We have a number of land and property clients based in Southampton who have approached us for guidance on a range of commercial and residential property projects.
Given the high number of students living in Southampton – 30,000 at the last count – we have previously advised clients that have purchased commercial buildings in Southampton on converting them into student accommodation under permitted development rights.
We have also helped clients buy and sell land in the surrounding greener areas of the city.
