Commercial leases
Any business or landlord entering into a commercial lease needs to be sure that the correct legal process is followed and that they fully understand their commitment, risks and any potential liabilities at the end of the term. Our commercial property team can help with preparing new leases, lease extensions and lease renewals. We also provide advice on assignment, early surrender and variation of business leases, including licensing and sub-letting.
For more information, see our dedicated Commercial Leases page.
Transfer of Ownership
Transferring ownership of a commercial property to a limited company or pension scheme involves a legal process much the same as a purchase and sale at arms length. This is true even if the previous owner transfers the property to their own company or pension scheme and especially when there is borrowing involved, so it is important that the correct legal process is followed.
Our team can assist with the transfer of both freehold and leasehold commercial properties to limited companies or pension schemes.
Financing and Re-financing
Mortgaging or Re-mortgaging your freehold or leasehold commercial property can be a complicated process and your lender will have a detailed set of requirements to satisfy. Whether you want to raise a mortgage for the first time, lower your interest rate or release some equity from the property, we can help, ensuring you understand your obligations and making the process as straightforward as possible.
