    Development work covers planning and delivery of major sites, infrastructure and commercial premises, from assembling titles to negotiating planning obligations and securing consent. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates planning agreements, secures restrictions and rights of way, reviews title due diligence, and coordinates environmental, highways and housing contributions. They liaise with local planning authorities, developers, landowners and lenders, and ensure that planning conditions, covenants and permissions align with project timetables and funding needs.

    “This is the 4th house purchase and sale that Loretta and her team have dealt with for us, but the first business purchase we've made. As always the teams service was great. Plenty of progress updates, info sent and received promptly and everything ran smoothly. Would bot use anyone else for either personal or company purchase/sales.”
