Housebuilders are navigating a market in flux. Rising costs, planning delays and shifting policy landscapes are reshaping how homes get built - and where.

At the same time, demand for quality housing remains high, with ESG pressures and buyer expectations driving innovation in design, delivery and sustainability.

Housebuilders need legal partners that understand the full picture - from land acquisition to final sale - and who can help them move fast, overcome challenges and protect margins.

We bring deep sector knowledge and commercial fluency to every stage of the housebuilding lifecycle, and we advise national housebuilders, landowners and promoters on strategic land, planning, infrastructure, partnership agreements, construction and plot sales.

Ranked across and recognised for our proactive, collaborative approach, we help clients unlock sites and structure residential projects that deliver.

Our work includes advising on garden villages, complex joint ventures and strategic land promotion agreements - helping clients create new homes that meet residential demand, policy and ambition.
