The Challenge
A longstanding client sought to acquire a significant portfolio of affordable housing units from a national housebuilder, with a combined development value of approximately £14.5 million. The transaction required careful coordination between multiple stakeholders and a thorough assessment of development and contractual risks.
Our Approach
The EMW team undertook comprehensive legal due diligence, reviewed development documentation, advised on title and property matters and coordinated the contractual negotiations required to move the transaction forward.
We worked proactively with all parties to maintain momentum and ensure key commercial objectives remained central to discussions.
The Outcome
Contracts were successfully exchanged, enabling our client to secure 75 affordable housing units and further strengthen its residential portfolio.
