Broad-ranging residential real estate advice
We act for residential developers, private and institutional landlords and housing associations and deal with every aspect of the provision of houses from site acquisitions and development to the sales of units and the management of communities. A key element is the provision of affordable and social housing and we have developed an alternative affordable tenure (readily accepted in the mortgage market) that avoids the problems for tenants and their funders associated with the traditional shared equity model.
