Commercial conveyancing

The fatal mistake that many people make is assuming that domestic (‘normal’) conveyancing is the same as commercial conveyancing! It is often much more complicated an affair and having the right legal advice will make all the difference. Deals have a habit of going wrong when handled incorrectly – can you afford expensive mistakes?

Commercial leases

Our solicitors are vetted by the Law Society Panel of experts and therefore have the necessary experience to assist you prudently and with due care. Our specialists can help with the complicated interpretations of legal documents such as contracts and title deeds and all manner of creation, revision and explanation of agreements between parties. In particular, care should always be taken in the drafting of tenancy agreements. These must work to exclude as much possible conflict between landlord and tenant as possible. Our experts can help landlord and tenants alike with issues surrounding renting and letting property. There are some key areas our professionals can deal with, including but not limited to:

• The implementation of leases and sub-leases
• The assignments of leases
• Legal advice on property finance issues such as re-mortgaging and company refinance which is secured against land
• Legal advice on the laws covering rent reviews and service charges

Landlord and tenant

Tenancy agreements often include a large list of conditions specific to the property that exist to protect the landlords interests but often cause real confusion for the potential tenant when it comes to understanding any obligations they may legally be putting themselves under. For the landlord too, complications arise when you decide to let your property. You must invest some effort into drafting the perfect agreement for your particular situation and our experts are specialists at doing exactly that. Getting the agreement correct from the start is the only way to avoid the large majority of potential problems associated with letting.

Property development lawyers

The development of residential property can often be financially rewarding, but as many first time developers experience each year, it can also be fraught with potential legal problems. Our experts can help you in these matters to offer advice as to how to avoid these issues and to deal with them quickly and efficiently should they arise. Such issues may include the buying of land, disposing of land, planning permission applications and the subsequent appeals.
