Property acquisition, funding & disposal

Our team has extensive experience of all types of property schemes (we are a top 20 UK law firm for real estate advice according to The Lawyer top 100 survey 2007), including low cost home ownership and rental.

We deal with numerous local authorities, developers, health and education authorities and private owners who are either individuals or corporate entities. We liaise repeatedly with the same sellers which enables us to develop good working relationships with them and their advisers, which means efficient and fast transactions for you.

We bring many years’ experience of advising developers to our development agreements for housing associations, including:

We’ll also ensure that the appropriate adoption agreements are in place including Section 38, Section 104 and Section 278 agreements. Our team advises on Section 106 agreements, LCHO dwellings, mortgagee exclusion clauses and shared ownership issues.

Our streamlined processes for acquisitions and disposals of land, properties and plots means a high standard of professionalism and a sophisticated service. Our experience includes:

We are well versed in all types of shared ownership leases. When it comes to Right to Buy, Right to Acquire or Homebuy, we can help your sales teams comply with the statutory timescales using bespoke IT and an efficient system of procedures and reporting.

We can also assist with the management of deeds using our deeds database to help you keep track when they are relocated between funders and solicitors.
