Commercial property work covers the rights, duties and transactions involved in using and trading from business premises. A solicitor in this area drafts or negotiates commercial leases, reviews and completes sale and purchase contracts for shops, offices and industrial space, checks titles and Land Registry entries, and advises on restrictive covenants, security, and planning or environmental issues that affect a business’s premises. They coordinate searches, report risks to the client, and liaise with landlords, tenants, lenders, developers and local authorities to progress deals.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Typical problems include defective title or missing guarantees, disputed lease terms, or disproportionate onerous covenants that could affect a business’s operation. A solicitor provides professional accountability, conducts due diligence, drafts protective clauses, and oversees compliance with Land Registry and standard form leases; they ensure there is clear, binding documentation, and they handle any necessary negotiations and registrations to protect the client’s commercial interests.
