Property development

Residential Property, Property development Legal Services - Kent, Sussex & Surrey

Residential development projects often involve a range of legal and practical considerations, from the acquisition of land through to the sale of completed units.

We provide practical and commercially focused advice to help clients navigate each stage of the development process.

We act for landowners, developers, investors and private clients on a wide range of residential development matters. Advice is provided on site acquisition, title constraints, rights of way, restrictive covenants, planning-related issues, infrastructure arrangements and disposal strategies.

Many developments also require specialist agreements to secure or maximise development potential. We can assist with any option agreements, overage provisions and the legal structures needed to bring forward residential development opportunities.

Key services

  • Advising on the acquisition and sale of residential development land.
  • Drafting and reviewing conditional contracts, option agreements and overage provisions.
  • Investigating title, access, easements, covenants and other development constraints.
  • Supporting landowners and developers throughout the development process.

If you would like to discuss a residential development matter, please get in touch with our team who will be happy to assist.
