Development

Teacher Stern’s reputation in the real estate development sector is founded on decades of experience in advising residential developers and house builders. It is that experience, coupled with our in-depth market knowledge and technical expertise, which makes us one of the leading real estate practices in London.

We advise a broad array of clients including developers, investors, land owners and banks across a broad range of residential real estate matters including the development of commercial, residential and mixed-use schemes, site assembly and acquisition, planning, high-value refurbishments, development & construction projects, joint ventures, compulsory purchase, construction documentation, pre-lets, forward sales, landlord and tenant and dispute resolution.

We have particular expertise in the development of student accommodation, care homes and mixed-use schemes comprising residential and commercial units.

Our real estate development lawyers have all the necessary technical expertise, industry knowledge and commercial insight to understand the specific issues, constraints and opportunities necessary to deliver your project. They work closely with lawyers from our Banking & Finance, Corporate, Construction, Real Estate and Tax teams to ensure that our clients receive a comprehensive legal service covering all aspects of their projects. We also work closely with our clients’ professional teams to ensure a smooth project delivery.

We take the time to understand our clients’ needs and commercial objectives. We then tailor our advice to meet their needs and help ensure that their visions become a reality.
