Members of Lamb Chambers are regularly instructed to advise on, and litigate, a wide range of issues arising out of the development of real estate. We are able to help in advising on the proposed scheme at the pre-construction phase; as well as acting in any disputes that arise from the development itself.

- Easements, rights of way and wayleaves
- Rights of light
- Conveyancing
- Restrictive covenants (including their discharge and modification)
- Party wall disputes and awards
- Overage agreements
- Assets of community value under the Localism Act 2011

- Boundary disputes
- Mortgages, charges and finance
