Top 10 of 3,582 law firms for Exchange of Contracts, Commercial Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

In England, the exchange of contracts in commercial property binds buyer and seller to complete the sale, after heads of terms, surveys and local searches are done. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the contract, raises and answers conditions, manages the deposit, and coordinates with lenders, the Land Registry, and the other party. It marks a turning point from negotiation to formal commitment and sets timetable milestones and consequences if a condition is breached.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A solicitor handles the drafting and negotiation of the contract, ensures the correct information is included (title, boundaries, leases, fixtures and fittings), arranges pre-completion searches and enquiries, and oversees the transfer documentation and registrations. If a problem arises, the solicitor coordinates responses, finalises the dispositions and deeds, and liaises with lenders, vendors, and buyers to protect the client’s interests under professional regulation and client account rules.

Andrew Hornsby

Tagged solicitor Andrew Hornsby

Excellence at its highest level I have only used for conveyancing and employment law but I couldn't find a better firm of solicitors if I tried, their lawyers are second to none, I know Andrew Hornsby having worked for him many years ago and you simply won't find a more driven, efficient and capable solicitor who also has people skills and empathy, he has many years of experience in several fields of contentious and non contentious litigation as well as commercial law. I would highly recommend this firm of solicitors as they have la creme de la creme of lawyers/solicitors.
