Residential Development and Plots

You’ll be working with a highly experienced and expert team that includes strategic land acquisition and assembly specialists, planners, corporate and tax specialists. We also have a growing plots team, known for their highly efficient process on volume matters.

Overview

Our track-record for success speaks for itself. As one of the leading, largest real estate teams in the country, we act for all of the UK’s leading housebuilders, as well as many specialist developers and housing associations.

Throughout the complete cycle of residential development we’re known for our results-based, strategic approach, as well as our cost-effective solutions. Our ability to handle the most complex of land assembly requirements, frequently requiring joint ventures and partnership agreements, is widely recognised as amongst of the best in the sector.

Our work spans drafting and negotiating complex strategic land agreements (including conditional purchase agreements, options and collaboration agreements for residential and mixed use); negotiating planning permissions and planning agreements; corporate and tax advice (including dealing with joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, setting up LLP and other special purpose vehicles); planning and environmental matters (including dealing with the development of brownfield sites, contaminated land and environmental impact assessments); sustainability and energy supply (including advising on decentralised energy and sustainability requirements, with a particular focus on Energy Services Company (ESCo) structures); public/private partner sectoring agreements (including affordable housing issues and working on schemes in collaboration with the Homes and Community Agency); and residential conveyancing.
