Housing & Regeneration

Service overview

What we do

The delivery of social housing and regeneration projects requires more than property expertise alone. It often involves funding, planning, construction, governance and long-term stewardship, together with a clear understanding of the communities these projects are intended to support.
We advise registered providers, developers, local authorities, investors and other organisations involved in the delivery, management and regeneration of housing. Drawing on expertise from across Real Estate, Construction, Planning, Banking & Finance, Corporate and Regulatory, we help clients progress projects from early planning through to delivery and ongoing housing management.
