Our commercial property development services
Site acquisition
An essential part of any development is finding the right site and acquiring it on the right terms. Various factors need to be considered, including any existing restrictions on the lands use, environmental factors and the local planning regime. It is also important to consider issues such as option and overage agreements that the seller may wish to include in any deal.
Our commercial real estate development experts can assist with the process of acquiring development sites. We can ensure you get the right terms for your overall commercial goals and that any potential problems or areas of risk are identified and accounted for.
Commercial development finance
The right commercial property development finance is essential, both to enable a development to go ahead but also to make sure it will be profitable when completed. Securing the development finance on favourable terms often requires negotiation and developers must be sure they fully understand the terms before signing off to avoid problems later.
Our commercial land development experts can advise on finance deals, making sure the terms are suitable for your immediate and long-term interests. Having this type of independent review is critical for good risk management.
Sales and lettings
To realise the profits from a development, the completed units must be sold or leased on the most beneficial terms possible. Having the right legal support can help to ensure sales go ahead smoothly and on the right basis while protecting you against any legal risks.
Our commercial property development solicitors can assist with selling and leasing completed units, providing a complete commercial conveyancing service for developers.
Commercial property development dispute resolution
Disputes can cost developers a lot of time and money, as well as having the risk for very negative publicity. In the worst-case scenario, they could prevent a development from going ahead. Whether you are facing a dispute with regulators, a local planning authority, commercial partner or any other party, having good legal support at an early stage can make all the difference.
Our commercial property dispute resolution experts can assist with finding positive solutions to even the most seemingly intractable issues. We can often negotiate favourable resolutions using the mechanisms set out in your development agreements or other alternative dispute resolution methods. If you require support for court or tribunal proceedings, we can also ably support you through such processes.
