We handle the legal side of buying and selling commercial properties—offices, warehouses, shops, and development land—from title checks and searches to negotiations and final completion.
Commercial Leases
If you’re leasing commercial premises, whether as a landlord or tenant, we can draft, review, and negotiate leases that protect your interests. We also advise on lease renewals, break clauses, and dilapidations.
Lease Renewals and Tenant Support
Our team regularly supports tenants by reviewing heads of terms. We offer advice on repair liabilities, service charges, and your right to terminate or renew a lease under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
If you’re planning to bid on a commercial property at auction, our solicitors can review the auction pack in advance and flag any red flags or missing documentation. We can also handle the legal process post-auction to meet the short deadlines that typically apply.
We provide advice on easements and rights that could affect your land, such as access rights, drainage or utilities easements, and help you resolve any title issues before proceeding with development or occupation.
Transfers of Part and Multi-Title Deals
We have experience dealing with complex matters such as transfers of part splitting or merging titles, and structuring land disposals for development or investment purposes.
Overage and Option Agreements
If your transaction involves overage agreements or conditional contracts. Our experienced solicitors in this field can help draft or negotiate these agreements to ensure your interests remain protected.
Title Reconstruction and Ownership Investigations
Where title deeds are lost or missing we can handle the application to the Land Registry often referred to as “title reconstruction”. This involves locating and collecting evidence and the preparation of Statements of Truth or Statutory Declarations. We can also support voluntary first registration at HM Land Registry.
Public and Private Access Rights
Our team will assess whether public rights of way or private access arrangements affect your site and help you deal with any legal complications that arise as a result.
Commercial Property Disputes
We take a solutions focused approach to resolving disputes. Our aim is to protect your position while keeping disruption and legal costs to a minimum. We’ll advise you clearly on your legal options, assess the strength of your case, and help you reach the best possible outcome, whether that’s through informal settlement or pursuing a case through the courts if necessary.
Additionally, where appropriate, we explore ADR methods such as mediation and arbitration to avoid lengthy and expensive court proceedings. These options can help resolve disputes quickly, preserve business relationships, and achieve outcomes that are tailored to the needs of both parties.
