This work area covers the risks that can arise when buying, selling or funding commercial property in England. A solicitor handles the due diligence process, reviews titles and leases, raises and answers pre-contract inquiries, negotiates contract terms, and coordinates searches and surveys. They protect the client by drafting or negotiating warranties, undertakings, and protections for land, planning, rights, covenants, and financing, and they manage the completion and post-completion registrations and filings.
