Our Expertise

Property Development

(Solicitors for Ipswich, Suffolk and East Anglia)


Most of us are property developers. We extend and improve our homes from time to time but even the simplest improvement can give rise to quite a complex legal situation where planning consent, building permission and covenant consent or the lack of it, can always trap the unwary and ill advised.


For those developing properties which are not owner occupied there are the same considerations plus taxation implications and a mysterious area of law known as the law of 'easements'. Land without the right to receive a water supply or to drain or with access only available to owners of helicopters is valueless.


We are happy to discuss such issues without obligation, and with our policy of 'no sale no fee' with developers large and small. No client is more important than any other and although we act for major institutional developer clients, we devote the same priority and care as we do to a client wanting to build a new front porch. We work closely with Accountants, Planning Consultants and Chartered Surveyors.


Our senior partner Stephen Broughton, heads the property development department. He has experience advising a clearing bank Pension Fund, an International Motor Manufacturer, publicly quoted Property Companies and with leading Counsel has conducted a Planning Appeal at a Public hearing. He was also instructed by a subsidiary of an Irish Brewing Company in the development of a chain of holiday camps and associated developments in the leisure industry.
