Property: Land acquisition and disposal

Our Land team has a strong reputation in the industry and acts for a number of national house builders and large consortia involved in major projects, plus many local developers. The team's work ranges from new settlements and town expansion schemes to small developments of executive houses or affordable housing schemes. We are regularly involved with city centre developments and the redevelopment of brownfield sites.

  • long term strategic land assembly and acquisition;
  • short term land acquisition;
  • tenders, contracts, conditional contracts and options;
  • freehold acquisition subject to uplift payments;
  • consortium and joint venture agreements;
  • joint venture companies;
  • land "exchanges" and
  • drafting and advising on bonds, parent guarantees and collateral warranties
