Property Development

To successfully navigate the complexities of property development, you need the support of lawyers who have a deep understanding of all issues that arise across the development cycle. Maddocks is proud to be a leading development team that knows the latest industry trends – and how to ensure projects run smoothly, even when complexities arise. We like to call it a “Total Solutions” approach for all development needs.

Site identification and due diligence

Spending time and money on due diligence is critical, given the subsequent impact on asset value or project feasibility that may later be manifest if thorough due diligence is not undertaken. Our legal solutions cover all due diligence planning and environment, taxes and levies, corporate history and structure, property title and leases.

Asset Acquisition and Structuring

We advise on the acquisition and structuring of development assets, including entity structuring, tax and stamp duty considerations and joint venture arrangements.

Planning

We advise on planning and approvals across the development cycle, from rezoning and permit applications through to appeals.

Sales and leasing

We advise on the sale and leasing of development sites and completed projects, including off-the-plan sales and pre-commitment leasing.

Project delivery

We advise on development and construction financing, security arrangements and the negotiation of construction contracts.

Income realisation

We advise on structuring and documenting the realisation of income from completed developments, including sales, leasing and management arrangements.
