We are pleased to share the second issue of our Property Law Intelligence series which you can download here.

‍

At Bell Howley Perrotton, our work is rooted in tax, but our clients' property decisions rarely exist in a tax vacuum. The legal framework surrounding development, planning, leases, service charges, property management and occupation can be just as important to value, risk and the success of a transaction.

‍

So, alongside our tax updates, we continue to highlight wider property-law developments that are particularly relevant to investors, developers, landlords, advisers and anyone active in the property market.

‍

This second issue examines ten recent decisions, including:

‍

• coordinating Building Safety Act proceedings across different jurisdictions;
• CIL liability and the risks of commencing development;
• repeat planning applications and enforcement history;
• restrictive covenants and estate-management structures;
• break-compensation valuation;
• reserve funds and residential service charges;
• temporary accommodation and decant costs;
• holding over under the Electronic Communications Code;
• banning orders and the interests of existing tenants; and
• competing land uses, nuisance and negligence.

‍

The aim remains simple: practical, concise analysis of the cases and developments that could affect real-world property decisions.

‍

We hope you find Issue 2 useful.
