Getting the detail right from day one.
We start by understanding your objectives in detail, right from the first conversation, so nothing gets missed later on.
Commercial property
Buying, leasing or refinancing a business property?
All three involve the same legal groundwork - due diligence, contracts, and formal registration, handled properly so deadlines are met, budgets are respected, and your business isn't left exposed.
What does commercial property work cover?
Sale or purchase of commercial land or buildings
Commercial finance or refinance
Investment and buy-to-let property
Acting for landlords in granting a lease
Acting for tenants in taking on a lease
Acting for charities
Acting for pension schemes
What happens during a commercial property transaction?
However you're approaching it, buying, leasing or refinancing, here's what our involvement usually looks like:
2
Working with your wider team.
We liaise directly with agents, your accountant, financial adviser and any banking relationship manager, so information doesn't get lost between different parties.
3
Due diligence and contracts.
We carry out the legal checks needed on the property, negotiate terms, and keep you informed at every stage.
4
A proactive approach to deadlines.
We take a commercial, dynamic and proactive approach to each transaction, so it's completed on time and meets your objectives.
5
Completion, and beyond.
Once the transaction completes, we're still here for whatever comes next, whether that's a lease renewal, another purchase, or wider business advice.
What else can you help with, beyond the property itself?
Advising on buying or selling a small business, on a reasonable, fixed fee
Advising on the need for shareholders' or partnership agreements
Planning for what happens to your business if you die or become suddenly unwell
Advising on the impact of divorce proceedings on your business
