Property Development Contracts: Advanced Issues

To effectively advise and represent property developers, you need a robust grasp of specific contractual topics, including options, conditional contracts and site promotion agreements. This is an essential course if you’re seeking to consolidate your legal and practical knowledge of property development contracts. Property development is booming, despite fears that the impending Brexit would dampen development. However, property development is a complex area, and developers can be blind to the potential problems – until they are bankrupted by them.

Successfully navigating the legal and practical minefield of property development needs a firm grasp of many areas of law – and sound commercial awareness. If you are an experienced solicitor or other practitioner dealing with property and land development, this course is designed with you in mind.

Our well known and respected property expert, Hannah Mackinlay, will take you through the vital property development agreements and other documents, so that you can effectively advise your clients on the best route to take in any given transaction.
