Understanding the Acquisition of Commercial Property
Buying a commercial property is a significant step, and it’s important to know exactly what to expect at each stage. We keep the process clear, protect your interests, and make sure every detail is covered so you can move forward with confidence.
Pre-Contract Checks
We review the title deeds, planning permissions, and any restrictions, while you gain a clear picture of the property and any issues that could affect your plans.
Negotiating Terms
We agree the key points of the deal and set them out in clear Heads of Terms, giving you certainty over timelines, responsibilities, and conditions.
Contracts and Exchange
We prepare or review all legal documents so you know exactly what you are committing to before the exchange takes place.
Completion and Registration
We finalise payment, complete the transfer of ownership, and register the property, giving you full legal security from day one.
Emotional and Practical Support
Buying a commercial property isn’t just a legal transaction — it’s often a key move in shaping the future of your business. We understand the pressures of meeting deadlines, dealing with multiple parties, and making the right decisions at the right time.
