Purchase of Commercial Freehold/Leasehold
This involves handling the legal processes for acquiring commercial properties, whether freehold (where the buyer owns the property and land outright) or leasehold (where ownership is for a fixed term with certain restrictions or obligations). The firm assists with due diligence, including checking for planning permissions, reviewing commercial contracts, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements to protect the buyer’s investment.
Preparation of Commercial Leases
The firm drafts and reviews commercial lease agreements, ensuring they meet the needs of both landlords and tenants. This includes setting out terms for rent, maintenance responsibilities, renewal clauses, and any other conditions specific to the commercial property, ensuring clarity and legal compliance.
Transfer/Assignment of Commercial Leases
This service supports clients looking to transfer or assign their interest in a commercial lease to another party. The firm handles the legal formalities, ensures that the landlord consents to the transfer where required, and manages any legal obligations that arise during the transaction.
Sale & Purchase of Agricultural Land
The firm provides expertise in the complex legalities involved in buying or selling agricultural land. This includes reviewing land usage rights, public access (e.g., rights of way), environmental considerations, and any specific restrictions or obligations tied to the land. The aim is to facilitate a smooth transaction while safeguarding the client’s interests.
Promotional Developments, Overages, Options, and Similar Arrangements
This service focuses on assisting clients with agreements related to land development and future use. The firm handles legal arrangements for promotional agreements (where a third party promotes the land for development), overage agreements (where the seller is entitled to a share of future profits if the land value increases), and option agreements (giving a party the right to purchase land at a later date). These are tailored to the client’s needs to maximise financial and strategic benefits.

We act for Landlords and Tenants in many different kinds of leases, relating commercial or agricultural property, including notices to quit and possession proceedings.
