Our commercial property services are tailored to meet the needs of private companies, developers, investors and landowners of all types. We are instructed to advise on the full range of commercial transactions, including:
- the sale, purchase or lease of commercial property, including offices, shops, industrial units and mixed-use buildings;
- re-mortgages, refinancing and second charges;
- the grant, renewal and surrender of leases, acting for landlord or tenant;
- assignments and underlettings of commercial leases;
- licensed premises, including acquisition, disposal and the licensing requirements for the sale of alcohol and other licensable activities;
- development work, including options, conditional contracts, overage agreements and auction disposals;
- agricultural land and property with development potential.
How we work
We focus on your particular needs as a commercial client and keep you informed with a clear timescale as the matter develops. We work closely with your accountants, lenders, agents and surveyors, and where a dispute arises our landlord and tenant litigation team is on hand.
Stephen Thirsk, whose practice has centred on property work for over five decades, and Alan Zeffertt, who acts for many overseas investors, lead this work.
