What is Commercial Property Law?
Commercial property law governs the ownership, leasing, and use of business premises. This could include offices, retail units, hotels, or mixed-use buildings. It can be complex, competitive, and costly.
Here are some common areas of law our commercial property solicitors can support you with:
- Buying and selling business premises: We ensure the process runs smoothly, protecting you from unexpected costs or delays, minimising risks, and prioritising your commercial interests.
- Granting and taking commercial leases: Our team drafts, reviews, and negotiates leases, covering issues like rent, break clauses, and disputes between landlords and tenants.
- Granting and taking legal charges: If you need to secure finance against property or recover a debt, we handle legal charges to protect your interests and can apply to court to enforce them.
- Purchase and sale of a business as a going concern: We can assist with the process of buying or selling a business, including office premises and other assets connected to the company.
- Acting for developers and new developments: Helping to ensure the swift and smooth acquisition of development sites, as well as handling the sale of finished property.
- Advice for landlords and management companies: We offer practical solutions to landlords and management companies with tenancy agreements, rent recovery, and evictions.
- Deeds of covenants: Ensures the new leaseholder agrees to pay the required service charges to cover any maintenance and repair of the property’s structure and any communal areas.
From choosing a site to develop to recovering rent from previous owners, commercial property law requires specialist legal expertise. Our team can help both individuals and businesses make good decisions, liaise with architects and developers, and represent you in court in property disputes.
Getting advice from our solicitors early helps you avoid costly mistakes and protect your investment.
