How we can help

Commercial property services

Support for owners, landlords, tenants and investors at key stages of a commercial property transaction.

A practical, personal approach

Advice shaped around the property and the people involved

Commercial property decisions often involve several moving parts. We aim to make the process clear, explain the options and keep communication straightforward from the first conversation through to the next stage.

01

Property

Sales

Guidance for those looking to sell commercial property and connect with potential purchasers.

Selling a commercial property starts with understanding the asset, its position and the outcome the owner is seeking. We can discuss the property, likely market, timing and the information prospective purchasers may need. Marketing can then be tailored to the type of property and audience, with enquiries and viewing requests handled in a considered way.

As interest develops, we can assist with communication between the parties and help progress discussions towards agreed terms. Every property and transaction is different, so advice is based on the particular instruction rather than a one-size-fits-all promise.

02

Commercial

Lettings

Assistance with commercial property lettings for landlords and businesses seeking premises.

For landlords, letting a property involves more than finding an occupier. Matters such as the nature of the premises, the proposed use, lease structure and the needs of the building all deserve attention. We can discuss the letting requirement, present the opportunity to suitable parties and help manage enquiries and viewings.

For businesses looking for space, we can talk through location, size, budget and practical requirements before considering suitable opportunities. Where a potential match is identified, we can help the parties discuss terms and the next steps.

03

Purchases

Acquisitions

Help for businesses and investors looking to acquire suitable commercial property.

An acquisition should begin with a clear brief. The right location, accommodation, permitted use, access and overall cost will vary depending on whether the property is intended for occupation or investment. We can help clarify the requirement and consider opportunities against the priorities that matter to the client.

When a property is of interest, we can assist with initial discussions, arranging viewings and negotiating heads of terms. Legal, building, planning, finance and other specialist due diligence should be undertaken with the appropriate professional advisers before a commitment is made.

04

Lease events

Rent reviews & renewals

Support with commercial lease events, including rent reviews and lease renewals.

Rent reviews and lease renewals are important points in the life of a commercial tenancy. The lease wording, review or renewal date, property circumstances and relevant market evidence can all affect the discussion. It is sensible to look at the lease requirements and timetable early, rather than leave matters until the last moment.

We can help clients understand the property issues, prepare for discussions and work towards a clear position with the other party. Where legal interpretation or formal representation is required, specialist legal advice may also be appropriate.

A conversation first
