Commercial Property

What sets us apart is that it doesn't matter what is presented to us, we will offer sound commercial advice and solutions, rather than just legal analysis. We take a modern and commercial approach to commercial property, but we still obtain traditional values. 

We incorporate every aspect of commercial property. Our clients include companies, investors, developers, occupiers and high net-worth individuals. We cater for every client's needs, whether it is a routine grant of lease, a time-sensitive development, a complex acquisition or a substantial piece of investment work.

A few examples of what our experienced team can assist with can be found below:

Acquisition and disposal of Commercial Property

Whether it is a multi-property leasehold acquisition portfolio or a single freehold property disposal, our commercial property team will guide you through the entire process from start to finish.

If you are purchasing, our team will investigate the legal title, carry out the necessary searches, raise enquiries with the seller's solicitor and work with any lender you might need. If you are selling, we will prepare a comprehensive sales pack and work with you to reply to any enquiries raised by the buyer to conclude the transaction promptly. We will also arrange for this to be discharged on your behalf (if applicable).

On both matters, we will review and negotiate the agreement and/or lease on your behalf to ensure the deal is done with your best interests at heart.

Landlord and Tenant matters

We can assist whether you are a tenant, a prospective tenant or landlord of a commercial property. We are able to assist with the drafting, negotiating, terminating, varying, assigning, surrendering and renewing of commercial leases, agreements for leases and associated documents such as rent deposit deeds and licences to assign and alter.

Asset Management

Asset management is largely based around the requirements and rights contained in legislation. These impose a framework of obligations and responsibilities on landlords which, if overlooked, can have material consequences.

A landlord will need to deal proactively and effectively with a number of tenant demands and requests. The documents that we will tailor for your specific requirements to assist with such issues, include the following:

• Licences to assign
• Licences to alter
• Licences to sublet
• Leases and subleases
• Rent deposit deeds
• Deeds of variation/surrender
• Rent review memorandum

We can also assist with the following:

Making and submitting applications to register unregistered land; and investing and resolving issues of title, property finance and security business sales and purchases
