Residential Development Services

Life isn’t easy for the residential developer.  Land costs remain high, competition is fierce, build costs are rising and margins are under pressure.  There are still excellent opportunities though and the well informed developer is best placed to take advantage of these. 

The Scottish Parliament has re-written the land law of Scotland root and branch.  For residential developers the loss of superiority status, “democratisation” of Deeds of Conditions and the assault on options stemming from the Community Right to Buy have all fundamentally altered the legal landscape. 

Our team of experienced advisors are at the cutting edge of these developments.  We lobbied on behalf of residential developers during the legislative process.  Since then we have devised some of the most advanced techniques available for adapting to the new regimes.
