What is Commercial Conveyancing?
Commercial Conveyancing is the term used to describe all the legal work involved in transferring ownership of land or property. Our conveyancing lawyers can also offer support when it comes to negotiating, reviewing or drafting lease agreements.
Often a more complicated process, our property conveyancers understand the complexities of commercial requirements. By hiring a professional you can expect bespoke assistance when it comes to dealing with lease agreements or planning permissions, allowing the exchange of property to continue smoothly.
How long does a commercial property purchase take?
Purchasing a commercial property is a lengthy process which can take several weeks to complete - there are no quick fixes. It is important to correctly follow all of the required legal processes.
As with any property purchase, there can be a number of reasons that contribute to the time a purchase takes. To give you peace of mind, our expert conveyancers will keep you informed at every necessary stage of the process.
Do I need a solicitor to buy a commercial property?
A commercial property purchase can be a complex and lengthy process and it’s important to complete the necessary due diligence. It’s also a big investment and so buyers need to ensure that the process is as risk-free as possible.
A property conveyancer can help you understand what the process is for buying a commercial property. Employing a specialist in this sector will ensure you’re paying a reasonable price for the new office your business needs - and getting good value for money throughout the process!
