Commercial PropertyBuilding a successful relationship
and our ‘can-do’ approachIt’s the support we give
that sets us apart
We understand that our clients’ primary commercial objective is to get any property deal done as quickly as possible.We work hard to make things happen, and will not allow the transaction to become bogged down in unnecessary detail. Obviously we will thoroughly investigate any potential pitfalls and communicate them with you as early as possible, but we will always seek to find a balance between protecting your best interests and getting the deal done. We offer the sort of sensible and practical commercial advice needed to deal with any property issue – large or small. That’s why our clients keep coming back.
We have extensive experience in dealing with all types of property issues, such as:
The acquisition and disposal of freehold and leasehold property
The granting and renewal of leases of business premises
Property finance, including secured lending and pension fund transactions
Residential and commercial development transactions
Access and zoning
We have specialist expertise in all areas of commercial property law, and can deal wih related issues such as licensing law, planning law, environmental issues, employment matters and health and safety law. Working together with our Commercial Litigation experts, we can help resolve business property disputes, for example disputes over rights and boundaries, disputes over the construction of properties and problems arising from default by tenants in paying rent.
Our team of highly experienced property lawyers prides itself on its outstanding service, concentrating on three key areas:
CommunicationWe don’t believe that a client should ever have to phone us to find out what is happening on a matter. We see it as a vital part of our role to regularly contact our clients and keep them informed of developments.
SpeedWe appreciate that speed is of the essence. We operate highly efficient and effective case management systems which enable us to meet tight deadlines and bring the deal to a close as quickly as possible.
ValueWe offer highly specialised legal advice at very competitive rates. We will always ensure that the lawyer assigned to your transaction has the appropriate level of experience, and that you are clear on what the estimate of our costs will be at the outset. Should things become more complicated, we will keep you fully informed and will discuss any costs implications with you – thereby ensuring no nasty surprises!
Whilst we have clients, large and small, from a broad spectrum of industries, we have particular expertise in the following sectors:-
The airline industry
Residential and nursing care
Secured institutional lending
Commercial and industrial design and build procurement
The licensed trade
