We have extensive and long standing Contaminated Land experience arising in freehold and leasehold property transactions for landowners and public authorities.
Our specialist real estate partner, Tim Smithers lectures regularly on the subject as well as practicing what he preaches with his team in advising national housebuilders and the public sector.
Often contractual mechanisms to share and apportion risk or liability can be factored into the transaction provided the issue is identified at an early stage.
We can also advise on contaminated land designation notices, liability for adjoining property and proper appointment of environmental consultants.
Work experience/case studies:
- Bristol Harbourside - acting for a consortium of landowners on this flagship mixed use development.
- Advising on housing development of various brownfield sites for both developers and landowners.
