Commercial Property

Leases, purchases and sales, with clear timelines and no surprises at completion

Premises are usually the second biggest cost after people. The lease deserves more than a signature on the landlord’s draft.

How we work

Leases and renewals: Heads of terms reviewed, break clauses and repair obligations negotiated, and a one-page summary of what you have actually signed.

Purchases, sales and disputes: Due diligence, financing and completion run to an agreed timetable. Dilapidations and rent disputes handled by the same partner.

Standard leases are fixed fee. A written quote within 24 hours of the first call, and no charge for that call.
