A development needs a workable management structure after construction ends and different owners or occupiers arrive. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise on property development in Greenwich, helping clients connect shared facilities, maintenance and cost arrangements with acquisition and disposal documents, so the completed scheme can function as more than a collection of separately sold spaces.

Identify what will remain shared

Roads, landscaped areas, service equipment and access routes may need continuing management. We review the proposed layout with the team and ask who will own each element, maintain it and fund the work. The answers should inform the legal structure before individual disposals begin. A management arrangement designed after the first sale may find that essential rights or contributions were not reserved.

Create consistent responsibilities

The documents should explain the services, cost allocation and decision-making process in terms suited to the scheme. We consider how obligations are supported across the relevant interests and how future owners will understand them. Different property types may need different treatment, and specialist advice may be appropriate. The objective is a coherent arrangement, not an assumption that one standard service charge clause fits every unit.

Plan the transition from developer control

Initial management during sales may differ from the long-term position. We discuss the proposed transition and associated records, rights and contractual arrangements alongside the disposal strategy. Our advice also covers site acquisition and development agreements. Bring an estate plan showing shared areas and the intended ownership structure, together with the proposed maintenance approach, so the documents follow a practical management plan.

Frequently asked questions

When should shared-area ownership be decided?

Before disposal documents are finalised wherever possible. Ownership affects rights, maintenance and contributions, and early decisions help the different parts of the scheme fit together.

Can one unit's lease be drafted without considering the rest of the estate?

That risks inconsistency where services or access are shared. The unit's rights and contributions should be assessed against the wider ownership and management structure.

What information should pass to the long-term manager?

Relevant plans, service arrangements, maintenance information and legal documents should be identified. The required package depends on the scheme and the responsibilities the manager will assume.
