Housing Associations

Thorntons has worked with and advised housing associations for many years and has developed a range of skills to meet the particular needs of this niche sector. We have advised on site acquisition/disposals, dealing with the various purchase options available (eg shared ownership), securitisation and many other property related matters together with the wider legal needs of the sector as it continues to evolve.

The range of specialist advice we offer covers everything from land and property purchase through to corporate advice. Our expertise in this field is well recognised and we are regarded as one of the leading legal advisers to housing associations in Scotland. The firm has also undertaken large scale transfers of housing stock.
