Development

Issues with site acquisition or sale

We help resolve disputes that arise when buying or selling land for development. That includes contract interpretation, exercising option agreements, ransom strips, price determination, resolving overage issues, and more.

‍

Vacant possession and site clearance

We act swiftly to secure vacant possession from existing tenants or other occupiers successfully. Our extensive experience covers everything from single units to large-scale, multi-tenant sites.

‍

Development site assembly issues

We help you navigate complex issues like boundary disputes, rights of way, and restrictive covenants that can delay progress.

‍

Other development-related disputes

From party wall procedures to rights to light, we’ve seen it all. If a neighbouring development is causing you trouble, or your scheme’s facing a challenge, we’ll help protect your position.
