How to Buy a Commercial Property

Purchasing a commercial property is a strategic move that requires the right legal support and planning. Here's a quick overview of the key steps:

Find a property that suits your needs, location, and budget.

Agree on terms and start legal checks like title review and searches.

Appoint a solicitor to handle contracts and liaise with lenders if needed.

Complete the deal by exchanging contracts and registering ownership.

Working with our team ensures every stage, including any required commercial property lease conveyancing, is managed with care to help you move forward confidently and without delays.

How to Sell a Commercial Property

Selling a commercial property requires careful preparation and legal support. Start by gathering key documents such as title deeds, lease agreements, and planning approvals. Once a buyer is found, agree on the sale terms including price and timelines.

A solicitor will then prepare the contract, handle legal correspondence, and respond to buyer enquiries. The sale is completed by signing contracts, transferring ownership, and receiving payment.

If you're ready to sell commercial property, our team will manage the legal process from start to finish, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.
