Commercial Property

We listen to your needs and offer innovative, results-focused solutions

Commercial property is that which is owned or used by a business entity. However, although it is often a huge asset to a company, it can also raise complicated legal liabilities as well as extra expenses.

Our commercial property solicitors help businesses acquire a thorough grasp of the potential risks and costs surrounding commercial properties; we are dedicated to setting your company up for a more secure future by finding the right property solution for you from the start.

The wealth of experience within our commercial conveyancing team allows us to compete for and win high quality work on a national level. Our reputation has been built on our clients’ knowledge that we go the extra mile and establish valued practice areas, including energy and sustainability, to meet the evolving needs of our commercial property clients.

Energy and sustainability

The landscape of the industry has changed in recent years as we understand more of the requirements commercial properties must meet when they are being valued. As well as the potential and current rental value of a premises, the valuer takes into account the sustainability of the property.

The sustainability of a building is gauged according to the nine categories defined by the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), which are:

• Management
• Energy
• Land use and ecology
• Pollution
• Materials
• Waste
• Water
• Health and well-being
• Transport

Practical and knowledgeable advice

Although we are often dealing with complex issues, we remain consistently focused on our objective to give practical, uncomplicated, legal advice that gets the deal done in a manner that achieves the best outcome for our clients.
