Real Estate and Land Use

The century-old law firm of Gawthrop Greenwood invites prospective clients to contact us to schedule an initial consultation about your real estate and land use law questions. We represent developers, individuals and municipalities with commercial and residential real estate transactions and land use concerns.

The real estate and land use attorneys at Gawthrop Greenwood facilitate responsible growth in the area of real estate and land use in Chester County and in the adjacent southeast Pennsylvania region. Whether our client is a municipality, or a developer, we are able to provide the same high level of experience and service to move the project from the drawing board to completion.

Our Pennsylvania real estate and land use attorneys understand that both the needs of our client and the needs of the community must coexist to result in a successful project. We work with the community in which the real estate project is planned and the developer of that project towards the resolution of environmental, traffic, and other impacts which accompany the project. This comprehensive approach has made our lawyers key players in the best commercial projects in this region.

We assist developers in the acquisition and financing of real estate projects. We also provide our guidance to both developers and municipalities as to whether a proposed use is consistent with the current land use plan. We provide representation and guidance to large and small landowners in obtaining necessary land use relief and approvals from the appropriate municipal or other regulatory bodies.

We also assist individuals in all aspects of the purchase and sale of real estate. We provide assistance in for sale by owner (FSBO) situations when individuals prefer an experienced real estate attorney to a real estate broker. We assist in price negotiations, home inspection arrangements, purchase agreements, escrow accounts, and title searches. We attend closings with our clients to ensure that all legal details of a transaction are properly addressed.

We also advocate for individuals and organizations in disputes involving easements, subdivision regulations, boundary disputes, adverse possession, overhanging trees, zoning ordinances, and spite fence law issues.
