Navigate the complexities of property development with a strategic legal partner by your side. We provide expert, commercially-astute advice on land acquisition, planning, finance, and disposals to maximise your return on investment.
Our expert solicitors provide end-to-end legal support, from the initial opportunity to the final sale, ensuring your project is built on a secure legal foundation.
We advise on all aspects of land acquisition, including due diligence, funding, and securing the deal with complex agreements like Conditional Contracts and Option Agreements.
We navigate the complex legal side of the planning process, including negotiating Section 106 agreements, advising on Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), and handling infrastructure agreements.
We act for both borrowers and lenders, providing expert advice on structuring and securing development finance, and ensuring all legal requirements from funders are met efficiently.
We advise on construction contracts, professional appointments, and manage the legal process for the eventual disposal, whether through individual plot sales or a single asset sale.
In property development, you need more than a conveyancer—you need a strategic legal partner. We provide commercially-astute advice designed to mitigate risk, maximise returns, and drive your project forward.
Your project will be handled by a senior solicitor with deep expertise in development law, ensuring you receive the highest calibre of advice.
We understand that time is money. Our advice is always grounded in the commercial reality of your project, focusing on achieving your goals efficiently.
We don't just process paperwork. We proactively identify and solve potential issues in contracts, titles, and agreements before they can delay your project.
Our strategic advice turns complex challenges into profitable opportunities. Here’s how.
A developer identifies a disused warehouse with potential for a 50-unit residential scheme.
The purchase is only viable if planning permission can be obtained—a costly and uncertain process.
A conditional contract is drafted, legally obligating the developer to purchase the site *only if* satisfactory planning consent is secured by an agreed long-stop date.
Planning is granted. The contract automatically becomes unconditional, allowing the developer to proceed with a profitable project, having mitigated all upfront financial risk.
A family owns a large field on the edge of a town earmarked for future growth, holding significant potential value.
The family lacks the funds and expertise to pursue a planning application themselves to unlock the land's true value.
A conditional contract is negotiated with a housebuilder, obligating them to apply for planning at their cost, with the sale completing only upon success.
Permission for 100 homes is granted. The contract completes, and the family sells the land for its full development value—many times its original worth.
The first legal step is securing the land. This is rarely a straightforward purchase. It almost always involves a complex agreement like a Conditional Contract or an Option Agreement to mitigate your risk.
A Section 106 Agreement is a legal agreement between a developer and a local planning authority, often requiring the developer to make financial contributions to local infrastructure or to provide affordable housing within the scheme.
Development finance is a specialist loan to cover the cost of construction. Lenders have strict due diligence requirements, and we work with you and your lender to ensure all legal conditions are met so your funds can be drawn down on schedule.
You will need a range of documents, including a main building contract (often a JCT contract), collateral warranties, and professional appointments for your architect and engineer. We can advise on, draft, and negotiate all of these for you.
We prepare a comprehensive legal pack for the development, allowing for the efficient sale of new-build plots to individual buyers. For commercial developments, we can manage the sale of the entire asset or the letting of individual units in a multi-let building.
From a single plot to a major development, our expert solicitors are here to guide you. Contact us for a confidential discussion about your project.
