We have considerable experience in property development having dealt with the full range of transactions from small developments of a single plot to large scale residential or industrial development sites.

You may be new to property development, requiring advice on acquiring property and the best way to set up the property for a smooth and trouble free development and disposal. We can point out the pitfalls and issues to avoid and deal with the legal side of the development for you, allowing you to concentrate on the issues important to you.

We can also assist larger developers, those who have been long established and know exactly what they require and expect from their legal team.
