If you or your business is involved in a commercial property dispute, our business disputes department can help.
A commercial property solicitor advises on buying, selling, leasing, and managing business premises. They handle contracts, property searches, negotiations, and ensure transactions comply with UK property law.
A freehold means you own the property and the land it stands on outright.
A leasehold means you have the right to occupy and use the property for a set term under a lease agreement, subject to landlord terms.
Yes. A solicitor will review and negotiate the terms of a commercial lease to protect your interests, ensure compliance with the law, and avoid costly disputes in the future.
Buying or leasing commercial property typically takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the deal, searches, and negotiations. But it can take longer if there are issues with planning permission or title.
Searches may include local authority, environmental, drainage and water, and planning searches. These identify any restrictions, liabilities, or risks associated with the property.
