Advising on Mixed-use Developments
Commercial property lawyers are increasingly advising on mixed-use developments as increasingly planning requirements dictate that new property developments must include residential elements. As a result, commercial property lawyers have to consider the impact of residential landlord and tenant issues. These include the rights of first refusal, enfranchisement and lease extension rights for flat or house leaseholders, the Right to Manage and the complex statutory regulation of service charges and related matters of leasehold management. As such developments will usually include an element of social housing, the role of registered social landlords and other issues relating to social housing are also examined. Delegates are taken through a case study of how these issues can be best dealt with in advising on a new development. All of the reforms to residential leasehold law made by Part 2 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 and the provisions in the Housing Act 2004 which allow private developers to apply for social housing grant are considered in detail.
James Driscoll advises on the residential aspects of mixed-use developments and he is the author of numerous books and articles on this subject.
