Property Transactions
Working with you, Our Commitment to you …
We have been providing expert advice in all aspects of Commercial Property transactions and Landlord and Tenant law for over 50 years. Our range of Commercial Property clients includes owners of large industrial sites and buildings, management companies of blocks of flats, industrial units and industrial estates.
In Commercial Property transactions we understand the value and importance of the relationship not just between solicitors and their clients but also between ourselves and the firm and those acting for the other side. This helps to foster the trust and confidence between all the parties to enable us to get the job done speedily and effectively.
Our approach…
We always, at the beginning of any transaction for the Seller, prepare a detailed information pack to enable the Seller to have a head start and cut down the time which transactions can take.
For the Buyer we always prepare a detailed dossier and report at the earliest opportunity so the Buyer gets a complete understanding of what he or she is buying or proposing to lease. We take particular care in ensuring that clients are always aware of the commercial risk on taking on commercial leases especially when they are fully repairing and insuring and long leases.
We always try to understand our client’s essential objectives and ensure that these are met and not sacrificed over minor or peripheral issues which can so often be the case.
Commonsense and a practical approach will always be our watch words and why it is we have retained so many commercial clients over the last twenty years.
