Property Development

Falmouth’s relatively high property prices have meant that the town has seen a reasonably constant stream of mainly residential property development schemes. We have acted for a number of local developers and have been involved with luxury seafront apartments and town centre affordable first time homes.

We can provide legal services for property developers. This includes schemes to sell leasehold freehold and if required a combination of both with a team sufficiently large and robust to ensure that the project does not suffer delay from the developer’s side of things. Each commercial property transaction has its own key issues which need addressing quickly and resolving, our team have the ability and experience to do this.
