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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers the law and practice around the creation and negotiation of contracts for the sale, purchase and related transfers of commercial and investment property in England. A solicitor in this field drafts and negotiates the contract for sale or purchase, conducts pre-contract due diligence, negotiates risk allocation, conditions precedent, and any required holdover or overage provisions, and coordinates with title verification at the Land Registry. They also handle ancillary documents such as rent review protections, easements, service charges, and registration, and prepare for completion and post-completion steps including stamping and filing.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Contracts for real estate transactions are structured to manage title risk, ensure funding, and set out timing and conditions for completion. The solicitor identifies potential issues in title and planning, negotiates protections for the client, ensures compliance with UK Tax obligations on transfer, and coordinates with lenders, surveyors, and the other party. Importantly, they prepare and review the missives or contract documents, ensure all conditions are satisfied, and oversee the formal transfer of title and registration at HM Land Registry, preserving client interests throughout.

Alexandra Bartlett

Tagged solicitor Alexandra Bartlett

We recently worked with Alexandra on the purchase of a small piece of land and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided. The sellers are known for moving very slowly but she kept everything progressing efficiently which made the whole process feel so much more straightforward. She also took the time to clearly explain th process and contract terms in a way that was easy for us to understand, which was really important for us. The final cost was also really competitive! We would highly recommend Alexandra and this practice to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, warm and reliable solicitor.

Leila Archer

Tagged solicitor Leila Archer

We appointed Leila as our solicitor for a sale and purchase transaction - she was fantastic. All the way through the process she communicated with us clearly and simply and was able to explain and advise on the risks assuredly. We also did not have to chase - she fully understood the timescales and worked hard to keep the transactions going at pace. In the end we had to exchange and complete quickly due to the circumstances of the purchase (outside of our control) and Leila managed it through to conclusive fluently with minimum fuss. We can't thank her enough! Would definitely recommend.

Sadie has been immensely helpful and supportive throughout our first ever remortgage process. The initial contact was fast and clear and I understood everything that was required from me. Sadie kept constant communication and answered every question promptly and with full details so I was never left unsure of the answer given. Couldn’t recommend enough
