We have a dedicated team of lawyers and planning consultants specialising in residential development work in our head office in Gatwick.
We act for housebuilders in the public and private sectors. These range from housing associations and large property developers such as Crest Nicholson, to smaller developers often building only a few plots. We offer the full package of legal and planning services to help housebuilders develop and sell sites quickly at maximum profit.
