Too poor to play?
InsightsIn recent press reports, developers have been accused of separating social housing tenants from wealthier home owners by preventing them from using play areas.
Property Development
ExpertiseWe provide a comprehensive service for residential and mixed-use developers.
We are a specialist Property Development team led by Mike Smith. The current team have been working together for approaching 20 years.
We act for national house builders, niche developers and commercial developers. We have a good reputation in the industry and often handle large, complex projects that are usually the preserve of City practices.
Whoever we act for our approach is always the same – we want to be seen as part of our client’s key team, rather than external consultants. We can add far more value if we are part of our client’s team. We also enjoy it more!
