Welcome to the May 2025 edition of Russell-Cooke’s real estate legal news.

As we spring into May, our real estate specialists bring you the latest insights on the legal and regulatory developments shaping the sector.

In the fifth edition of our newsletter, we share highlights from recent matters we've advised on and discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by the current market. We cover a range of  developments including restrictive covenants on land, the Renters Rights Bill, and explore environmental considerations such as Biodiversity Net Gain and Nutrient Neutrality in construction. Our experts also outline landlords’ responsibilities toward disabled tenants in commercial buildings, as well as touch on the ongoing dialogue around commonhold ownership, the growing case for EV charging infrastructure, and developments under the Electronic Communications Code.

If you would like to find out more, please do get in touch with our real estate team.
