Commercial Property
Commercial property decisions affect premises, investment and day-to-day operations. We support buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants with the legal work involved in acquisitions, disposals, leases and related property projects.
Clear advice, early
Protect the decision before it becomes a problem.
Property documents can create long-term obligations around use, repair, service charges, finance and exit. Legal review before exchange, completion or lease commitment helps expose restrictions and liabilities while there is still time to address them.
We start by understanding the commercial outcome you want, then identify the legal work needed to reach it. You receive practical advice, a clear scope and a cost basis to approve before substantive work begins.

Frequently asked
Commercial Property, explained.
General guidance only. The right answer depends on your circumstances.
Do you act for both commercial landlords and tenants?
Yes. The work and priorities differ for each side, so the advice is tailored to the client's position and the particular property and lease terms.
When should I seek advice on a commercial lease?
Before committing to heads of terms wherever possible. Early review can identify issues such as permitted use, repair obligations, service charges, break rights and security requirements before the lease is settled.
How are commercial property costs calculated?
They depend on the transaction, property, finance arrangements and amount of negotiation involved. The scope, charging basis and known third-party expenses are set out for agreement before work starts.
