In continuation of the builders' breakfast series, Birketts' residential development team invites you to the next event in Chelmsford. Join us for a morning of networking and engaging discussion, featuring experts from across the sector.
This event will include an interactive session led by Sebastian Corke and Sophie Wallis of Bidwells, focusing on the residential development market. They will explore key challenges and trends from 2025, including the evolving planning landscape and market, and the increasingly competitive strategic land sector.
Helen Stewart and Jessica Caws of Birketts will provide insight into regulatory considerations for residential development arising from the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, with a particular focus on sale and leaseback transactions.
