A specialist property practice

Birchwood is a specialist boutique real estate law firm advising on development, investment and landlord and tenant matters.

We act for developers, landowners, investors and entrepreneurs on complex property transactions, including strategic land acquisitions, option and promotion agreements, overage arrangements, planning obligations, easements and development structuring. Our work spans the full lifecycle of a project, from site assembly and conditional acquisition through to disposal and ongoing asset management, and includes significant experience advising on renewable energy projects such as solar and battery storage developments.

We also advise high-net-worth individuals and property investors on residential acquisitions connected to investment or wider commercial arrangements. We provide clear, pragmatic and commercially focused advice, delivered in a responsive and straightforward manner.

Where appropriate, we work alongside trusted specialist advisers to ensure seamless support across wider planning and tax considerations.
