Management

Scratch the surface of the traditional landed estate and you will usually find a highly commercial business with enterprises ranging from farming through property development to leisure, sporting and property letting.  Larger estates may have extensive public access with house-opening, on-line sales and retail units.

All these activities give rise to special legal requirements.  We are able to combine the necessary legal skills with extensive experience of the sector, ensuring that you receive sound and commercially sensible advice.  Paul Neville, a member of the team at Forsters, has recently acted on a number of mineral leases for landowning clients; a good example of the unusual skills found in our landed estates team.

We are also on hand when there are problems whether with suppliers, building contractors, tenants or tiresome neighbours.  Our litigators are used to dealing with the delicate issues that can arise from such disputes.
