Property Law Intelligence Series - Issue 3

I’m pleased to share the third 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. Planning policy, land-access rights, lease drafting, management arrangements and compensation rules 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, leaseholders, advisers and others active in the property market.

‍

This third issue looks at 10 recent decisions and developments, including:

‍

- renewable-energy development and the plan-led system;

- statutory access for infrastructure surveys;

- late CIL evidence and expired appeal rights;

- recovering occupied development land;

- defective service-charge drafting;

- management orders covering multiple buildings;

- procedural errors and costs in right-to-manage claims;

- indemnity costs following compulsory acquisition; and

- enforcing lease covenants after decades of acquiescence.

‍

The aim remains simple: practical, concise analysis of decisions that can affect real-world property transactions, development projects, management arrangements and asset values.

‍

Bell Howley Perrotton is a specialist tax advisory firm that provides written opinions on complex property taxation, private wealth, trusts, succession, and family business structures. We frequently work alongside solicitors, accountants and other professional advisers where property law and tax analysis intersect.

I hope you find Issue 3 useful.
