    Development transactions cover the financial and legal steps to bring land and buildings through from planning to delivery, including option agreements, pre-lets and forward funding, joint ventures, construction contracts, developers’ agreements and forward sale or lease structures. A solicitor coordinates due diligence, negotiates and drafts terms for land acquisition, options, plannings consents, and security packages, and prepares registrable dispositions and warranties for lenders and purchasers.
