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.

A huge thank you to the team at Straw & Pearce for their professionalism and support during the sale of our mum's property.

We had a considerable number of challenges getting this sale over the line but Melanie was there to support and anticipate our concerns. She went above and beyond our expectations and experiences with the buyers solicitors. Can’t recommend her strongly enough!

Sophie Taylor

Tagged solicitor Sophie Taylor

My solicitor at Bannister Preston was Sophie Taylor and she was a massive help throughout a long and complex sale. Initially I had support from Sophie for a sale in 2025 which was unfortunately a long and hard process due to the other solicitor and buyer. When I had the news I was selling the property again at this start of this year, I notified Sophie and she was a great help from start to finish. This process seemed to run so smoothly and everything appeared to be actioned immediately. The sale wouldn’t have happened without her help so thank-you!

Kayleigh Ireland

Tagged solicitor Kayleigh Ireland

For the passed 12 months we have been working with kayleigh on a new development project which involved a lease splits and refinance from bridging to standard mortgages. We cannot recommend Kayleigh enough. From her due diligence to availability and willingness to help us understand all the options at our disposal was second to none and we really couldn't have gotten through the tight deadlines without her dedication and reliability to what was a complex project. Thank you Kayleigh, we look forward to working with you again.
