Expertise

Esther is a newly-qualified solicitor who specialises in residential development, acting for many of the top 20 housebuilders in the UK.

How do you help clients?

I help clients acquire land for developing into residential or mixed-use schemes: both immediate and strategic land.

I help clients meet their objectives and desired timescales by offering a solution-based approach to tackle obstacles that appear on development sites.

Experience

  1. Conducting land due diligence prior to immediate or strategic acquisition.
  2. Acting for a national housebuilder on a sale of affordable housing units to a housing association.
I’ve had nothing but a good experience with Esther Cannon… Gateley always stress that I can call them at any time… They’re very accommodating and their academy was really useful. Performance [on a recent project] has been really good… the team has been very persistent in resolving issues.
