Our commercial property team includes specialists in property development with particular expertise in mixed-use schemes. Our team are well-versed in dealing with and understanding the challenges you face in taking a site from the initial concept stage, through to acquisition, build completion, and finally any subsequent disposals (via lease or sale). We deal with mixed-use development sites of all types and have significant experience in city centre projects commonly incorporating retail and leisure outlets on the ground floor with residential use above.
Our solicitors have the expertise and experience to meet your legal needs on any size of development and offer bespoke solutions to the challenges affecting the development of mixed-use schemes. This comes from an understanding that every site is different and has different structures, needs, and outcomes.
We will work alongside you as an extension of your team, working to put forward plans for the most efficient completion of your site as well as resolving issues or dealing with unusual, or unexpected problems. Our clients value our pro-active and creative approach to solving these issues, unblocking anything preventing progress, thus providing you with solutions and achieving your desired end result as quickly as possible whilst protecting your long term interests.
