The Irish housing landscape has undergone dramatic change in the past decade. There continues to be a shortage in the availability of housing stock in the Irish property market coupled with an insatiable demand from consumers and institutional investors alike to purchase housing units across Ireland. The Philip Lee LLP Housing Group has built up expertise in providing legal services in the housing sector over almost 3 decades whether it be in the areas of planning law, real estate, construction law, public private partnerships and construction-related disputes.

External pressures such as supply chain issues due to the pandemic and the ongoing war in the Ukraine have resulted in supply chain issues and ever-increasing prices for construction materials. This coupled with pressures within Ireland that include construction labour shortages, high development land costs and the costs associated with compliance with a maze-like building control and planning regulatory regime make for a difficult landscape to deliver housing units in.

Set against this market backdrop, the Philip Lee LLP Housing Group can assist all participants in this sector from approved housing bodies and local authorities to developers and institutional investors in the delivery of housing. Philip Lee LLP advise a number of Ireland’s most established real estate developers at each stage of development from site assembly, financing, construction, disposal of assets and navigation of the legal and regulatory environment.

At Philip Lee LLP we always seek to deliver commercially sensible legal solutions to legal and regulatory obstacles.
