Commercial property Solicitors

Commercial property comes with its own set of challenges. Unlike some law firms, the commercial property team at Eric Robinson deal with a large and diverse client base ranging from small to multi-million pound commercial property transactions.

Our property professionals cover a wide range of services and issues- advising developers, banks, sellers, buyers, landlords and tenants on all aspects of commercial properties (i.e. anything used for business and which is not a residential dwelling) including:

• Industrial units, warehouses, care homes, shops, restaurants, pubs, cafes, nurseries, car garages, clinics, hotels, offices and takeaways;
• Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases of premises with vacant possession or subject to lease;
• Grants of leases, assignments of leases, licences to assign, rent deposit deeds, licences for alterations and deeds of variation;
• Option agreements and Rights of Pre-emption on development land (i.e. selling subject to first gaining planning permission on the land);
• Secured lending (mortgages);
• Independent legal advice on personal guarantees for validation purposes;
• Sale and purchase of businesses;
• Sale and purchase at auctions;
• Disposal of your property portfolio; and
• Disputes and other issues concerning commercial property

Our commercial property Solicitors offer legal advice on:

Landlords and tenants purchasing and negotiating new leases or renewing existing ones

Commercial leases can be very long and complex documents and you should make sure that you get the best legal advice before entering into one. We are experienced in negotiating favourable terms on behalf of both landlords and tenants, and as part of our service we explain very clearly the implications of every clause.

We act from start to finish in a leasehold transaction. There are intricacies involved in commercial leases and it is risky to navigate these yourself without speaking with people who know. Whether you are the landlord or tenant, or simply someone contemplating a new venture or investment, talk to us before committing to the transaction and we’ll give you essential advice to make the agreement work for you.

Investors and pension funds buying residential or commercial property

There are a number of aspects to buying investment property and our team is experienced in navigating clients through such transactions and avoiding potential pitfalls. There may be considerations regarding planning, VAT election, or using pension funds to buy or sell investment properties. With our advice, you will be best placed to make those decisions.

Whatever your enquiry or needs the commercial property legal team at Eric Robinson will be able to quickly outline how our services can assist you and your business needs. Whether you are a managing director considering a new office location, a finance director representing a housing association, or a private property investor, your dedicated Solicitor at Eric Robinson will be able to offer you or your investment vehicle bespoke legal services.
