    Developer disputes covers conflicts arising in commercial property development, including agreements for land purchase or option agreements, planning and development obligations, construction contracts, and breaches of covenants or restrictive conditions. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates development agreements, options, land transfers, and collateral warranties; reviews planning permissions, section 106 obligations, and other planning agreements; and handles disputes over title, boundaries, rights of access, and breach of contract with developers, contractors, funders, and landowners. In practice, matters are shaped by planning approvals, funding milestones, and the timing of registrations and registrations of title in the Land Registry.

    “My investment story with UK developer has making a long tail. We have paid 50% deposit by end of 2015. But developer hasn’t completed the unit on due date, but kept extending the due date. Finally, we found the development has sold the whole premises to another company. It looked like that our deposit would be forfeit and could not be chased. It was Daniel Stern who helps us to go for the property litigation and sue the solicitor for their mis-professional service that caused our loss. Though we have struggled for 3 years with all communications and litigation process, it is a miracle that today we finally collect our money back in account. Daniel really helped a lot in the issue. We are not familiar with UK Laws nor UK solicitor practice. With explanation and support from Daniel, we go through many difficulties. Without help from Daniel, we probably can get nothing. I trust Daniel is the most valuable and reliable solicitor in Slaterheelis. I highly recommend him! ”

    “Our purchase was a long drawn out process with regards to the lending which meant the vendor was putting us under immense pressure. Once the lending was approved and Mark was fully involved his commitment could not be faulted and he was clearly working all hours to achieve exchange in the time frame laid out by the vendor. I could not fault the service and attention to detail throughout the whole process.”
