Most businesses need to operate from or deal with premises.  We can offer expert advice to clients when buying their premises:  making sure the seller has a good title to pass onto you; negotiating and obtaining the best contractual terms available for you; carrying out searches to check if there are any problems with the property; satisfying your bankers or other lenders; completing your purchase to your timetable

When selling your property we would prepare the sale contract; answering any questions raised by the buyer's lawyer; negotiating and reaching a binding agreement; completing the transaction as quickly as possible.

If you are taking a commercial property lease we would examine the terms of the commercial property lease prepared by the landlord’s lawyer negotiating to minimise the risks and potential cost to you as tenant; getting you into occupation.

If you are investing in commercial property: checking the terms of the commercial property lease you are taking over from a landlord's perspective; liaising with your bankers or other lenders; completing your acquisition to suit your timetable.

If you are a commercial property developer: helping you assemble the site; advising on planning issues; dealing with the legal requirements of your bankers or other lenders; preparing contracts conditional on planning consent, or options to buy land; joint venture agreements and other appropriate development agreements.
