Top 10 of 3,582 law firms for Occupational Leases, Commercial Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Occupational leases cover the rights to occupy commercial premises for business purposes, typically as a tenant under a short or long lease when the focus is on occupation and use rather than ownership of the land. A solicitor in this area drafts, negotiates and finalises terms for the lease, including rent, service charges, repairing responsibilities, and user restrictions; advises on renewals, assignments, or exits; and helps with notices, dilapidations, and any landlord-tenant disputes that arise in the course of occupation.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles provisions, rent review mechanics, repairing covenants, guarantees, and break options, together with any related notices and registration. They coordinate with landlords, tenants, and property managers, identify potential liabilities, and ensure terms align with statutory protections and market practice. Complex scenarios may involve multiple parties, insolvency risk, or redevelopment constraints that affect occupation.

Melissa Squires

Tagged solicitor Melissa Squires

There are quite a few unsatisfactory solicitors out there. Having lost our wonderful solicitor to retirement, I went through 4 of these unsatisfactory solicitors. I asked friends for recommendations but all fell short. All I ask is that someone be pro active, easy to talk to, and keep in touch with updates. all of these were clearly too much for the companies I went through. In need once more, I started to call all of the companies with good reviews and see what came up. HSR Law were the 2nd company I called and I got lucky with a great young woman who after going through the few requirements I had, told me I needed Melissa Squires. Melissa called me straight away and I missed her call, so she immediately emailed me...this indeed was quite a novelty that someone called me back! Soon spoke to Melissa and she has now completed the work for me on a commercial lease. At last...a good solicitor! She is extremely thorough, very personable and certainly pro active. I can recommend Melissa very highly.

Emma was amazing from start to finish. She helped us exchange contracts about 10 months before the completion of our new build and was always on hand in that time if we had any questions about the process. Completion was so efficient, just woke up on the day and shortly after my phone rang to say it was done. 11/10

Edward Watson

Tagged solicitor Edward Watson

We instructed Ed Watson to do our conveyancing as the solicitor we originally instructed was taking far too long 3-4 months so far Unbelievably Ed got the whole matter completed in 3-4 weeks. He was very diligent, friendly informative at every level We would have no problems in recommending Ed Watson and Paris Smith in the future

I have to say working with Annie Riches was a fantastic experience. All the way from start to completion I could not have asked any more from her. I know that it was a challenge from day one but with Annie on my side I knew that it would all be ok. Without Annie I don't think that we would have got through all the grief. THANK YOU ANNIE
