COMMERCIAL PROPERTY EXPERTISE

With extensive experience working with a range of clients, we understand every aspect of commercial and industrial property and we make an effort to understand your business and how you do business. Working with teams in construction law and planning law, we provide a complete professional service with the ability to advise on landowner, developer and occupier issues.

Whether you need support on acquisitions or disposals of freehold, leasehold property, or commercial or residential developments, we will deliver strategic and pragmatic advice to meet your needs.

We can also draw on an extended network of surveyors, planners, accountants and lenders to access specialist external guidance – for example, in land valuation or building surveying – to deliver the best legal and commercial outcome for you.

Our Commercial Property Team has been involved in a number of high-profile claims and cases in this area. Highlights include:

  • acting for a commercial developer on the acquisition of a 10-acre business park for redevelopment
  • advising a major private landowner, in partnership with a developer and the Local Authority, on arrangements for the proposed future Southern Development Area of Swindon
  • acting on the sale of a number of former paper mill sites (up to 120 acres) as ‘oven-ready sites’ for redevelopment
  • acting on the acquisition of a large site on the M25 for a materials-recycling facility
  • acting on the property aspects of the sale of a high-value motor dealership with sites comprising the majority of value

Our expertise in this area encompasses:

  • All kinds of contractual arrangements including options and conditional contracts
  • overage/clawback provisions
  • development agreements
  • rectification of title deficiencies
  • site assembly
  • consortium and joint venture agreements
  • letting agreements
