This work area covers disputes and advisory work relating to residential construction and housing projects, including contracts with builders, defects or snags in new or renovated homes, and compliance with building regulations and planning requirements. A solicitor in this field drafts and reviews contracts (for example JCT forms), negotiates extensions or variations, pursues or defends claims for defective workmanship, and handles registrations, warranties, and notices with relevant authorities. The work may involve liaising with building control, surveyors, insurers, and lenders to protect a developer, contractor, or homeowner throughout a residential project.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles contract drafting and negotiation, assessment of liability for defects, analysis of warranties (such as building surveys and insurer warranties), and progression of any disputes through the courts or alternative dispute resolution. They manage procedural steps, including preparation of documentation for litigation or adjudication, and ensure compliance with relevant technical standards and statutory regimes (planning, building regulations, and housing schemes).
