Business Law

Commercial Property

Leases, acquisitions and development work for occupiers, investors and landlords.

Overview

How we approach commercial property

Premises are usually a business's second largest commitment after payroll. We negotiate leases with break rights, service charge caps and repair obligations that reflect how you actually use the space.

We also handle investment acquisitions, disposals and secured lending.

Common situations

  • Taking a new lease or renewing an existing one
  • Assignments, sublettings and licences to alter
  • Investment purchases and disposals
  • Development site acquisitions and options
  • Dilapidations at the end of a term

Our Process

Four stages, agreed in advance

A consistent structure applied to every matter in this fictional practice.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    A structured first conversation where we map out your property position, the outcome you want and the realistic routes to get there.

  2. 02

    Scope and cost agreement

    You receive a written plan setting out the work, who will carry it out and a transparent fee structure before anything begins.

    Strategy and progress

    Your named solicitor progresses the matter, negotiates on your behalf and updates you in plain English at every meaningful stage.

  4. 04

    Resolution and aftercare

    We conclude the matter, hand over a clear record of what was agreed and set out anything you should review in the future.
