The living sector is evolving rapidly. Investors, developers and operators are navigating regulatory change, rising costs, planning complexity and shifting demand across multiple asset classes, from build‑to‑sell and build‑to‑rent to PBSA and co‑living.
Our Living specialism supports clients at every stage of the asset lifecycle. We advise investors, lenders, developers, family offices and private capital on the structuring, delivery and management of living assets, combining rigorous legal expertise with a commercial understanding of how value is created, protected and realised in practice. Working as one integrated team, we help clients move quickly, manage risk and deliver successful outcomes across complex schemes and portfolios.
We advise across the full spectrum of the living sector, including build-to-sell (BTS), build-to-rent (BTR), purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), co-living and emerging rental models.
We act for a broad range of clients, including developers, housebuilders, institutional investors, lenders, operators and private capital. Our clients range from owner‑managed businesses and family offices to multi‑asset investors and lenders supporting complex schemes and portfolios.
Our experience across asset classes and client types allows us to provide advice that reflects the specific dynamics of each model.
We work closely with clients and industry partners to understand the trends shaping the market, from building safety and planning reforms to tenancy legislation and evolving investor expectations. We translate that insight into practical, commercially focused advice that clients can act on.
This enables clients to manage risk more effectively, respond to change and unlock opportunities across their portfolios, whether through development, repositioning, refinancing or exit.
Our approach is focused on achieving outcomes: unlocking development opportunities, securing funding, managing regulatory challenges and protecting long-term value. Working collaboratively as one team, we provide joined-up advice that helps clients move forward with certainty in a complex and evolving market.
