Residential development is a growth area and we have the depth of expertise to deal with the inevitable complexities.
In the sale or purchase of country houses and estates, farm land and residential properties, our large teams deliver major transactions swiftly and efficiently.
Working on options and leases for minerals and renewables projects requires a balance between commerciality and the long-term interests of the landowner.
We are helping clients get to grips with the new opportunities presented by the growth of natural capital markets, where revenue generation can come hand in hand with the production of environmental and social value. We advise landowners on matters including habitat banking schemes for the sale of BNG credits, carbon ownership and transaction of woodland and forestry.
