Our real estate team employs deep market insight, genuine innovation and commercial focus to deliver end-to-end support on significant schemes that shape our cities and communities.
We know that for developers, whether housebuilder, commercial, leisure or mixed-uses, the disposal of the site – to another owner, or as finished housing plots or commercial units – is the key moment. Throughout the process, realisation of the investment and handover is our objective and our approach to land acquisition and secured finance for developers is based on preparing for eventual disposal.
We are fluent in the language of “housebuilder”. Our teams feature senior practitioners with decades of experience in this specialist sector, using cutting-edge technology to produce a smooth and efficient plot sales service. We ensure that reaching the point of completion and realisation is as uncomplicated as possible.
We proactively steer real estate transactions and projects from feasibility to profitability and use our comprehensive understanding of investment risks and rewards to provide input and direction on project structures and development strategies.
We handle the full range of real estate transactions and projects, including site set-ups. acquisitions and disposals, development and regeneration, joint ventures, leasing, construction and engineering, as well as the planning and environmental aspects, for developers, landowners, landlords, tenants and investors.
