    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.

    “The whole team at Pardoes were really good. It was a long winded process to complete the purchase of an indusrial unit in Somerton, which was not of Pardoes making, but they got us over the line to completion. We are more than happy with their various staff and I even use then for my own personal needs e.g. wills etc.”
