What Does a Commercial Property Solicitor, Cheshire Do?

Our commercial property solicitors, Cheshire, provide expert advice and support for businesses, investors, developers and landlords involved in buying, selling, letting or developing commercial premises. Unlike residential property transactions, commercial property can often encompass complex legal documents, negotiation of bespoke terms and intricate long-term obligations. For these reasons, seeking specialist assistance from a commercial property law expert can be vital in ensuring your interests are protected, risks are minimised, and the transaction progresses as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

At AFG Law, our department of commercial property solicitors ensures that your interests are protected at every stage of the legal process. This includes carrying out due diligence (such as title checks and searches), drafting and reviewing contracts, negotiating lease terms, and advising on rights, obligations and risks.

In the event of a commercial property dispute, such as a breach of covenant or issues over repair obligations, we work in partnership with our in-house dispute resolution team, who can provide guidance on resolution, whether through negotiation, mediation, or legal action.

Our Commercial Property Legal Services

Our experienced commercial property solicitors, Cheshire, provide a full range of legal services to support your property transactions and long-term investment strategy. Whether you’re a landlord, tenant, developer or business owner, we offer practical, commercially focused advice tailored to your needs.

Some ways we can help include:

Commercial Property Sales and Purchases

We manage the legal process for buying and selling commercial premises, including offices, warehouses, retail units, and mixed-use properties. From conducting due diligence and raising enquiries to drafting contracts and handling completion, we make sure your transaction proceeds smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

Acting for Commercial Property Tenants

We advise tenants on new and existing leases, helping to negotiate favourable terms and ensure the lease protects your business interests. We’ll review the lease generally and report rent review clauses, service charges, repair obligations and break clauses, giving you clarity before you commit. Our reports will be tailored to suit your needs.

Commercial Leases and Lease Renewals

Whether you’re granting or taking on a lease agreement, our team can assist with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating lease terms to minimise risk and future disputes. We also assist with lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

Auction Property Solicitors

Are you buying or selling commercial property at auction? We carry out pre-auction reviews of legal packs, identify any potential issues, and provide quick turnaround advice so you can bid with confidence. If you’re a successful bidder, we handle post-auction conveyancing promptly to meet strict deadlines.

Rights and Easements

We advise on legal rights affecting commercial land, including rights of way, drainage rights, and access issues. If you are acquiring land or property, we’ll investigate whether any rights or easements affect your use or development plans and help you resolve or negotiate issues where needed.

Transfers of Part and Complex Transactions

We regularly handle more complex transactions such as transfers of parts, development site splits, and multi-title acquisitions. We’ll manage all legal, regulatory and practical aspects to ensure your transaction is compliant.

Overage Agreements

We draft and negotiate overage clauses to ensure sellers benefit from any future uplift in value, for example, if planning permission is later obtained. Whether you’re the buyer or seller, we’ll ensure the agreement is clear, enforceable, and aligned with your goals.

Option Agreements

Our solicitors advise on option agreements, conditional contracts, and promotion agreements. We ensure the terms are clearly defined and legally robust.

Reconstruction of Title

In cases where historical deeds are lost, inconsistent or unclear, we can reconstruct title to land using available documentation and statutory declarations. This is especially important where property is unregistered and title deeds have been lost.

Public and Private Rights of Way

Our team checks for the presence of public rights of way that may affect commercial land and investigates private rights of access. We help resolve access disputes and advise on how such rights may impact your plans for development or occupation.
