Land acquisition is the starting point for the providers of quality affordable housing. To succeed, housing associations need to be at the forefront of change, able to affect new schemes as and when they come on line. We have extensive experience of all property matters undertaken by social landlords. We also act for other not-for-profit organisations, as well as commercial landlords and developers.

We can advise on:

  • estate development (including plot sales)
  • grants and release of easements and covenants
  • land and property purchases
  • property sales
  • re-generation
  • right to buy/right to acquire
  • s106 and s38 agreements, etc
  • shared ownership/shared equity
  • staircasing and flexible tenure
  • VAT and SDLT issues.
