    Development matters cover securing planning permission, drafting and negotiating development agreements, and managing the legal steps that unlock land for building. A solicitor in this area advises developers, landowners, and investors on planning policy, due diligence, due process for planning applications, and associated agreements such as section 106 planning obligations and infrastructure agreements. They coordinate with planning authorities, lenders, and contractors to progress schemes from conception to occupation.

    “I was recommended the services of one of the partners Tom O’Neil. To sort out a dispute, I was having with a commercial lease with one of my tenants, after failing to resolve the problem with a local solicitor. He was extremely patient and dealt with the long-standing matter in a very professional manor. It even got to the stage where he had to threaten the tenant with eviction, if they would not sign the new lease. All in all, I was extremely satisfied with the service I received from Farleys and would certainly recommend.”
