Our team brings a wealth of experience and a practical, proactive approach to each project, ensuring that our clients receive expert advice and support at every stage of their development journey.

Comprehensive Site Acquisition and Due Diligence

Understanding the complexities of property development begins with the initial acquisition of the site. Our team meticulously reviews the title, extent, access, services, boundaries, and any third-party rights associated with the property. Through detailed searches and enquiries, we aim to uncover and address any potential issues early on, ensuring a smooth transition to the development phase. Our due diligence process is designed to provide you with a complete picture, identifying risks and opportunities to make informed decisions.

Negotiating Contracts and Securing Financing

Securing the right terms for the purchase of a property is crucial for the success of your development project. We excel in negotiating contracts that not only protect your interests but also provide flexibility for future developments. This includes drafting and negotiating options, clawback agreements, and contracts conditional on obtaining planning permission. We also understand the importance of securing financing for your project. Our team works closely with banks and other financial institutions to ensure that the requirements of your funders are met, facilitating a smooth flow of funds according to the needs of your project.

Legal Support for Planning and Development

Obtaining planning permission is a critical step in the development process. Our solicitors provide strategic advice on planning applications, ensuring that your proposals comply with local planning laws and regulations. We guide you through the application process, represent your interests in negotiations with planning authorities, and advise on any planning appeals, if necessary.

Property Development Fees

Our fees are determined on an Hourly rate of £175 (plus VAT) per hour with routine letters and telephone calls charged at 1/10th of that rate. This is the basis of how we calculate our fees. We will always provide a costs estimate and agree it with you before commencing work on your behalf. This will indicate the amount of work needed and the basis of the fee calculation. In addition if we need to incur any disbursements to complete the work required for you we will always seek to identify these in advance and obtain your approval before incurring them. Depending on the nature of your case, we may agree with you a fixed fee quote calculated based upon our hourly rate. We will identify what the fixed fee does and does not include.
