Social housing and local government law

As a result of the firm's specialisation in the law relating to housing associations and local government we have extensive experience in dealing with site acquisitions and developments, joint ventures, plot sales, shared ownership schemes and "Homes over the Shop".

The property team offers a full range of services to Registered Social Landlord clients including:

• site acquisition and disposal through short-term refurbishment lets of Local Authority stock;
• development and building agreements;
• joint ventures and collaboration agreements between, for example, an RSL, a health authority and a local authority to provide accommodation for people with severe learning difficulties using grant finance;
• financing work, such as negotiation and completion of deeds;
• PFI/Best Value (please refer to the section on PFI/Best Value in our Procurement pages by clicking here);
• construction contracts and construction disputes (please refer to our pages on Construction Law and our pages on Disputes);
• environmental law;
• compulsory purchase;
• requirements for charitable associations.

The team has considerable experience of innovative structures and schemes and of working as part of a multi-disciplinary team with other departments of the firm on large projects such as the design and implementation of a unique partnership arrangement between a local authority, two RSLs and a private developer for providing social housing, and a mixed use development for a charitable RSL involving provision of leisure, catering and housing.
