Tanfield’s members advise and act on issues that arise out of the development of land. From early stage pre-acquisition due diligence to end of development joint disputes, we have the expertise.
Early stage considerations that members regularly advise on are wide and varied and include: options, compulsory purchase, restrictive covenants (their meaning, impact and removal or variation); easements including rights of way and light; drainage and access issues; and service charge drafting, in particular to accommodate mixed use developments.
During development we can assist on site clearance with possession orders and injunctions, claims against trespassers/squatters, controlling protests at or near the site (in all cases if required, on an urgent basis) as well as advising and acting on property damage, party wall and boundary disputes.
After development has completed, our members are involved in post-development joint venture disputes, overage calculations and conveyancing difficulties.
