Development deal negotiated thanks to Partner’s expertise

A family farming partnership were approached by a property developer to promote their land for residential and commercial development in a £50m-plus deal. Agriculture and Estates partner Emily Pumfrey had advised the business for several years and was the first port of call for advice with this new opportunity.

Emily negotiated a hybrid option and promotion agreement on their behalf, taking into account their need to actively farm the land and use it for environmental initiatives., and to secure the best possible financial return for them and their family.

The clients benefitted from Emily’s technical experience in acting for land owners on land development projects as well as feeling reassured that she understood their business and personal needs. They valued her ability to explain complicated legal terms in words they understood and to put them at ease through a tense and stressful process.

The clients provided this testimonial: “We cannot thank you enough for the way you have negotiated this agreement on our behalf.  You have been so kind and supportive of us.  We are very grateful.”
