The Purchase Process

Acquiring property requires specialist advice. It is important to be aware of any legal issues which could have an adverse impact on the value of the property, or the ability to re-let, sell or finance the property in the future.

We deal with and advise on, the full range of legal issues associated with acquiring a commercial property including:

• heads of terms;
• the most appropriate structure for the acquisition;
• investigating and reporting on the property, including obtaining searches and raising enquiries with the seller and dealing with the responses received;
• ensuring contractual protections are in place;
• reporting to any lender that is involved and dealing with their requirements.

The Sales Process

Our services include:

• negotiating heads of terms;
• carrying out due diligence to anticipate any issues that might require further investigation (such as the capital allowances position or any occupational lease status);
• preparation of a contract and title pack;
• obtaining any necessary third-party consents;
• dealing with enquiries from the purchaser;
• post-completion arrangements with monies and serving any required notices.
