We advised a UK-based property developer on the
assembly and acquisition of a multi-title site in London to facilitate a significant commercial redevelopment. The project involved the coordinated acquisition of several adjoining properties held under different ownership structures, requiring a strategic and carefully managed legal approach to deliver a development-ready site.
The proposed development footprint comprised multiple parcels of land, each subject to different legal and commercial considerations. These included:
The client needed to secure control of the entire site while managing planning risk, avoiding ransom positions, and ensuring that no single acquisition could jeopardise the viability of the overall scheme.
We provided end-to-end legal support throughout the site assembly and acquisition process, working closely with the client’s professional team in London.
Our role included:
We also liaised with planning consultants, surveyors, and funders to ensure the legal strategy supported the commercial realities of developing in London.
The site was successfully assembled and acquired in line with the client’s programme. All relevant interests were secured with appropriate risk protection, enabling the client to proceed confidently with planning and funding arrangements.
The completed assembly unlocked the full development potential of the site and created a commercially viable opportunity in a highly competitive London market.
