A BRADFORD law firm has been appointed to handle the residential conveyancing for a housebuilder’s new development.

Sheffield-based housebuilder Honey has appointed law firm Gordons to handle the residential conveyancing on its first development, a 50-home scheme in South Normanton, Derbyshire.

Called Amber, the development has a gross development value of £14 million and will comprise a mix of new two, three and four-bedroom homes with prices starting from £184,950 for a two-bedroom mid-terrace.

Work has already started on site and the first residents are expected to move into their new homes next March.

A team from Gordons, which has offices in Bradford and Leeds, led by partner and head of residential development, Mike Finnett, will handle the conveyancing on all homes at Amber.

Honey was founded by former Avant Homes chief executive officer, Mark Mitchell, in October last year. The company is backed by private equity firm Alchemy Partners and its Alchemy Special Opportunities Fund IV which has £937m of fully committed capital.

Mr Finnett said: “We have got a strong and growing presence in the residential development sector, and this latest new business win is testimony to that.

“We now look forward to playing our part in enabling Honey’s continued success.”
