Buying Commercial Property

We deal with the full range of legal issues associated with the purchase of a commercial property, including:

• advising on heads of terms summarising the proposed purchase transaction.
• advising, in conjunction with other professional advisers, on the structure of the transaction. Is it most appropriate to buy the property in your own name/joint names; through a company or an LLP; or maybe you have a private pension scheme you would like to use. 
• Investigating and reporting to you on the property, including carrying out appropriate property searches, raising appropriate enquiries of the seller and considering their responses.
• dealing with all of the contractual issues arising in relation to the purchase to ensure that all necessary contractual protections are in place.
• reporting to any lender supplying funds to assist with the purchase and dealing with any specific requirements that they might have.
• We can also deal with the purchase of property which is held in a corporate vehicle where the shares in the corporate vehicle are changing hands.

We aim to understand your objectives from the earliest days of the transaction and to offer our best technical and commercial expertise throughout the process. We endeavour to ensure that purchases proceed smoothly to completion within your timescales.
