Commercial Conveyancing

For our business clients our services extend to the sale and purchase of business premises, which normally include offices, shops, factories, warehouses and so on. This may involve granting to a Tenant or taking from a Landlord a Lease of commercial premises and assistance in the very complex procedures concerning renewal, rent reviews, dilapidations and the many obligations normally taken on by a tenant of the business premises.

In dealing with business premises we can also offer essential advice on related topics such as town country planning and, in the case of builder clients, the many features which must be considered before commencing 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 issues by the N.H.B.C. and a number of other commercial and domestic considerations.
