How housebuilders operate

The DCLG has posted onto its website a research report: Understanding Builder to Builder Residential Land Transactions which examines the factors that influence the behaviour of housebuilders when they buy, sell and/or resell plots of land (including by way of option agreement or conditional contract). Although commissioned by the Government, the research does not necessarily represent the views or proposed policies of the DCLG. However, it provides an interesting insight into what influences the buying policies of UK housebuilders, and will be of interest to those who seek to dispose of potential residential land.
