Property Development

The property market

The complexity of the property market has increased greatly in recent times. After more than a decade of sustained growth, the property market both locally and abroad is going through a significant period of adjustment. These market adjustments mean significant opportunities for development site purchasers who are in a strong position to secure favourable vendor conditions in terms of price, timing and payment structures. Correctly structuring these deals is vital to the overall success of the development in particular if the deal is being funded or part funded by way of a Public Private Partnership (PPP). The finance arrangements and construction contracts for PPPs are particularly complex and require careful planning and advice from the outset.
