With genuine, deal hardened experience in the residential housing sector, our lawyers can add real value through an in-depth understanding of the challenges you face in your local market.
Multi-family, build-to-rent developers, single-family housebuilders and institutional investors choose us because we have a global track record, wide-ranging experience and an eye for the seemingly small, yet critical, detail.
That gives our lawyers the experience to support you through the full life cycle of your residential project. Be it a joint venture/public procurement process, involvement with utilities/rail interfaces or innovative developments in emerging investment classes.
Immediate and strategic land work is also a big part of what we do. Our track record includes working with developer consortia and national house builders in the UK, including on large-scale mixed-use developments and regeneration projects.
Whether you’re planning a development of apartments, flats, houses, student accommodation or senior living facilities, we’ll help you acquire suitable sites, secure financing, deal with construction issues and work towards successful handover and/or disposition.
We never forget that a legal issue could have a big impact on your profit margins – so will work closely with you to spot and avoid any bumps in the road.
