Commercial Property Lawyer - Commercial Property Law

Commercial conveyancing is slightly more involved than residential conveyancing as there are more issues for the commercial property lawyer such as issues concerning VAT; capital allowances on commercial property; fire certificates; authorised planning uses; freehold properties subject to leases; investment purchases.

Due to the further issues involved commercial property contracts for sale tend to be lengthier and contain more negotiation for both parties solicitors.

Commercial property searches also differ from residential property searches. Our solicitors will generally carry out the following commercial property searches specified below:

  • Local Search : The local search will only identify proposals affecting the Property which lie within 200 metres.
  • Chancel Repair Liability Search : The search advises if the freehold or leasehold property is located within the historical boundary of a tithe district within a parish which continues to have a potential chancel repair liability based upon historical parish boundary data and the relevant Inland Revenue Indices held by the National Archives.
  • Drainage and water search : showing the location of the waterworks and public sewer map

It is important that your property lawyer understands the issues mentioned above and is experienced in working with commercial property surveyors as both the surveyor and the property solicitor need to work together to ensure that the desired result is achieved for the client. As stated above at Property Legal our commercial property solicitors have worked at some of the largest firms in the country thereby providing an efficient point of call for your commercial conveyancing.
