Anna Aldous

Anna is a real estate lawyer and is part of the team clients have described as "the best…for development work in East Anglia." Her work includes all aspects of development including site assembly, promotion and option agreements, overage provisions, as well as commercial retail and other employment leases. She has a particular focus on patient capital in strategic land.

 One of Anna’s most enjoyable highlights is advising upon a number large scale mixed-use development (mostly consented for 5,000+ homes, together with schools, commercial and employment areas). Her work involves disposals of serviced parcels with innovative payment structures, working closely with landowners and master developers to ensure a finite balance between security of income, quality of long term development and place-making, as well as ambitious delivery of housing. It requires close coordination with a number of the client’s other consultants, as well as solicitors advising for a third party lender, to achieve deals acceptable to all parties.

Clients have referred to Anna as "hardworking, decisive and diligent" with an "ability to see issues clearly and find solutions."

Anna takes a keen interest in housing policy. She is has been part of the charity committee for our Norwich office, which coordinates support for a local charity each year. In 2017, she was part of a group to sleep overnight in a car park to raise awareness (and sponsorship) for the homeless.
