We advise on residential property matters from the ground up. That ground might beinner-city wasteland earmarked for PPP, or the site of a luxury residence.

Residential property is more than bricks-and-mortar. Residential property is a complex but potentially massively rewarding field of revenue stream management and development opportunity for public and private sector alike.

We advise on residential property matters from the ground up. That ground might be inner-city wasteland upon which landmark PPP or PFI housing projects are constructed, or a huge investment in refurbishment of an historic Listed parade of vastly luxurious upmarket residences.

There is no type of residential property or land development suitable for investment or build-out purposes for which McBains has not advised. Ground-up can mean blank sheet too, so that includes initial appraisals and concept designs, to planning and build-out – all aimed at creating value or realising the development potential, from geothermal feasibility to luxury penthouse.

Our range of skills means we provide the expertise necessary to design and manage new schemes, or refurbish and maintain existing premises and property portfolios. Our aim is to create opportunities for you and build reciprocal relationships to help clients realise the value within their property portfolio and to deliver capital and investment initiatives that will optimise efficiency and maximise returns, while minimising risk and conflict.

We act for clients in the disposal and acquisition of land and buildings for residential development and our activities cover the full range of property requirements including master planning, apartments, commercial/residential usage conversion, mixed development schemes, urban regeneration and estate housing.

The common ground throughout is that we've found the better way.
