Commercial Property

Estate and Corporate Solicitors can deal with all aspects of Property Law. Such as rights of way, easements, encroachments, squatters and many other similar complexities of land ownership.

Our commercial property team covers a considerable range of types of commercial property work, from small shop and yard leases to full scale residential or other commercial developments.

Our services extend to the sale and purchase of business premises which would normally include offices, shops, factories, warehouses, restaurants, and so on this may also involve granting to a tenant or taking from a landlord a lease of commercial premises and assistance in the very complex renewal, rent reviews, dilapidations and the many obligations normally taken on by a tenant of business premises.

In dealing with business premises we can also offer essential advice on related topics such as town and country planning, insurance, and, in the case of builder clients, the many features which must be considered before starting a development, such as the closure and diverting of roads and rights of way, drainage rights, the making up of roads and agreements with the local authorities, ten year guarantee certificates to be issued by the NHBC or similar bodies and a number of other commercial and domestic considerations.

One particular strength is in the preparation of new freehold and leasehold titles in residential estates or blocks of flats, with or without management companies, for instance sites where refurbishments of old buildings together with newly built elements create many complicated and interlocking rights, easements and liabilities and raise many issues.
