Residential Development

Developing new housing estates can be a very complex business and developers should be sure to obtain specialist legal advice before buying and building upon the land to avoid any unwelcome surprises during the development.

Chadwick Lawrence’s partner-led residential property development team has an abundance of experience and all the specialist knowledge you will need to ensure that your project goes ahead without a hitch; from pre-planning to post-completion we have the skills to see your development through. We have strong links with many professionals in the local building and development trade and we understand the practical needs of our developer clients allowing us to combine business expediency with proper legal protection.

We can help with:

  • Purchase and sale of sites
  • Long term Options and Conditional Contracts
  • Strategic Land purchases
  • Planning permissions
  • Section 106 agreements
  • Highways and infrastructure agreements
  • Title issues
  • Searches and enquiries
  • Registration of your property
  • Construction documentation and warranties
  • Plot sales including the setting up of Management Companies for leasehold developments
  • Sales to Housing Associations

We can also work with our commercial refinancing team to ensure that your development is well financed. Whatever your business needs, we have the right legal people to meet the challenge. In terms of cost we can offer a wide range of flexible packages, including fixed price – whatever best suits your business.

Throughout the year we run a number of seminars and presentations. Details will be available elsewhere on this website.
