jurisdiction Real Estate & Environment

The Real Estate & Environment Team works from various areas of expertise for the entire construction and real estate chain. Among others for project developers, architects, (construction management) consultancies, builders/contractors, brokers, housing corporations, property owners and property managers. But also for municipalities and owners' associations. The team supports from initiative, development and realization to the final management of real estate.

Real estate

The development, construction and management of real estate involves more and more. There is a tight market, rising costs, nitrogen problems and other environmental restrictions, but also the desire to develop more housing and transform existing real estate. And then also with all kinds of sustainability requirements of the energy transition. A major task to which the team at BG.legal can contribute expertise, experience and overview. We advise you on the right approach and the contractual recording of the agreements. We also assist you in conflicts, if necessary in court but also before the Council of Arbitration in construction disputes.

Care

For various reasons, healthcare institutions are adjusting their vision of real estate. Due to the separation of housing and care, more and more housing suitable for the elderly is needed. As fewer and fewer beds are available in the mental health sector, patients often occupy hospital beds for longer periods of time. As a result of these and other developments, healthcare institutions need to think carefully about their real estate. Healthcare institutions sell or lease real estate or rent real estate from housing corporations. Here it is important that the market conformity is tested by the Care Institutions Sanitation Board and that the lease or purchase agreement is authorized by this Board.

Environmental law

The environment is becoming increasingly important for to-be-developed and existing real estate. It determines not only the value of real estate but also its potential use. Something to be careful of. The environment has limitations but also offers possibilities and opportunities. Environmental law is therefore comprehensive and regularly subject to change. The new Environmental Law is expected to be introduced in the not too distant future. We see where your opportunities lie and how to deal with restrictions. Together we will guide you through the complex procedures concerning spatial planning. We advise governments, businesses and individuals on applications and granted environmental permits and regularly conduct proceedings.
