Estate management in commercial property covers the ongoing administration and stewardship of a landlord’s portfolio of non-residential premises. It includes maintaining common parts, negotiating and renewing leases, collecting rents and service charges, arranging insurance, and handling repairs and compliance with health and safety and fire regulations. A solicitor in this area drafts and revises service-charge provisions, negotiates variations, and manages disputes with tenants or contractors, ensuring the building operates efficiently and the landlord’s interests are protected.
