Frequently asked questions about our commercial property services
What does a commercial property solicitor do?
A commercial property solicitor provides crucial legal advice relating to the sale or purchase of commercial freehold property, and the negotiation of leases, whether a new lease or the assignment of an existing lease. They can help with:
- Handling lease assignments, renewals, and rent reviews
- Drafting and reviewing contracts
- Negotiating on lease terms

Do I need a solicitor to lease a commercial property?
Whilst you are under no legal obligation to use a solicitor for your commercial property matters, it is nonetheless highly advisable, as transactions relating to commercial premises usually have complex legal terms and significant financial commitments.
Our solicitors can review the lease to ensure that it is fair, explain how it outlines your obligations, such as maintenance and insurance, and make sure that there are no hidden liabilities. They can also identify potential risks, help you to negotiate on these terms or any other that could be improved, and handle registration with the HM Land Registry if needed.
How long does a commercial property transaction take?
Each commercial property transaction is different, and the amount of time it takes to complete will depend on the complexity of the deal, how communicative and responsive the parties involved are, and whether any issues are discovered during due diligence. Our commercial property solicitors can discuss your matter with you and give you a time estimate, specific to your particular circumstances.
