Lawyers specialising in Housing sector - local authorities, housing associations, student housing and developers

Housing is a critical issue of our time. To help you manage the pressures and seize the potential, our approach is commercial and outcome-focussed.

The UK’s population is growing fast, and housing targets are ambitious. Private or social, affordable or luxury, single sites or major projects, we have the nationwide insight and experience to meet the unique needs of landlords and investors, developers (large and small), housing associations, local authorities, land owners, lenders and providers of care homes and student accommodation.

We understand the nuances of the organisations we advise, while our experience working with a range of clients means we also see the issues they face from all angles.

Ours is a truly comprehensive service, covering acquisition of assets to planning, through construction contracts to disposal, via specialist skills in litigation, regulation, tax, finance, procurement, joint ventures and corporate structures plus day-to-day legal needs such as employment.

Our team is also supported by a fully-integrated plot sales service, which has experience in FirstBuy and Help-to-Buy schemes.

Our Housing capabilities are demonstrated by our appointment to some of the main housing legal panels, including the Housing Association’s Legal Alliance (HALA) and the Central Housing Investment Consortium (CHIC).
