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.

“We instructed Ed Watson to do our conveyancing as the solicitor we originally instructed was taking far too long 3-4 months so far Unbelievably Ed got the whole matter completed in 3-4 weeks. He was very diligent, friendly informative at every level We would have no problems in recommending Ed Watson and Paris Smith in the future”

“We didn’t know too much about Sam when we engaged him for conveyancing but our buyer wanted a very quick sale. Sam kept us updated with progress reports and was “on it” every step of the way. So both our buyer and us were truly impressed with his service ( I have already recommended him to two friends) ”

John Rockliff Smart
“I used John Smart at Richard Griffiths for the probate and sorting out of my Aunt’s Will. He was professional and helped us to sort out a tricky situation. I found him professional but not distant, easy to communicate with and available when I needed questions answered. I also used Georgianna and team for the conveyancing of the property I was selling. They were efficient and kept everything moving along nicely. Again it was always possible to get hold of someone to answer questions and report on progress. I highly recommend the firm. Everyone has been a pleasure to deal with.”
