What Can We Help You With?
There are fundamentally two ways of owning a property. It is important you understand the difference as it affects buying, owning, maintaining and selling your commercial property...
There are many reasons why tenants want the security of a long lease. However, circumstances can change and current premises may no longer fit the financial position, expanding staff numbers or plans of a business.
Whether you are a landlord or tenant, our commercial property team can assist you with the negotiation and drafting of a mutually acceptable commercial lease to ensure your interests and needs are always protected.
Commercial property disputes often involve complex areas of law and, whether you are a commercial landlord or tenant, it is pertinent to obtain expert legal advice.
When a property is owned with a long lease the property will depreciate in value and mortgage lenders are usually reluctant to lend on a property with a short lease as selling the property becomes more difficult.
There are many reasons for purchasing and selling land, from buying a small piece of land from a neighbour, to buying a large site for development or to prevent such development, to purchasing or selling farmland, investment land or woodland.

20 Minute Call
We provide most enquiries with an indicative scope of work and fee estimate, based on the information you share. We aim to respond within one working day.
In the same email you will be invited to arrange a 20-minute complimentary, no-obligation video consultation, should the proposed scope of work and fee estimate be of interest. This initial discussion is designed to better understand your requirements, refine the scope and ensure our approach is fully aligned with your objectives, at the end of which we will email you a definitive formal fee estimate to consider and approve.
Where you would prefer to receive initial advice and guidance from the outset, or where a short introductory call would not be the most appropriate starting point, we may instead recommend a 2.5-hour fixed-fee appointment, starting from £750 + VAT. This enables us to review the information you provide, discuss your situation with you and provide considered, tailored advice at an early stage.
