COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
Businesses
If you are selling or buying a business this will often involve property work and we will separately advise with regard to the business aspects (except taxation). This could involve the acquisition or sale for instance of a shop, warehouse or similar.
Investment Properties
Sales and purchases of businesses and Commercial Premises.
Sales
We have acted in the acquisition and sale of Investment and other properties for clients for many years. This will involve all aspects of a sale from drafting the contract, assisting on enquiries and ensuring that the transaction proceeds with reasonable speed. We will liaise with any Lender concerning redemption and advise you generally with regard to the sale process and your particular transaction.
Purchases
So far as purchases are concerned, whether Leasehold or Freehold, we will consider the contract paperwork, make all necessary searches, raise enquiries and provide you with a full report. We will liaise with any Lender and if we are instructed by your Lender we will report to them. If we are not instructed by your Lender, we will liaise with the Solicitors who do act for your Lender to ensure that they have the information they need to be able to report. We will complete and deal with Stamp Duty Land Tax and registration at the Land Registry.
COMMERCIAL WORK / LEASES
Commercial Leases
Redferns handle the granting and taking of Commercial Leases and we act for both Landlords and Tenants. We deal with drafting and negotiating of Commercial Leases. This includes renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
A Lease is a very important document that regulates the dealings between Landlord and Tenant.
If it is a new Lease it is essential to ensure that the Lease is in a format that will be acceptable to a Landlord granting the Lease or a Tenant taking a Lease.
It is for this reason that we work closely with each of our clients to understand their individual needs and ensure that we meet their specific requirements and timescales.
If you are taking the Lease, we will provide a full report, raise enquires and searches. On completion of the matter we will also deal with the registration and stamping of the Lease, if appropriate.
Apart from the granting or taking of Leases there are, on occasions, transactions where Licences to Assign are requested or granted and similarly Licences for Alterations, Rent Deposit Deeds, Authorised Guarantee Agreements and Deeds of Variation.
We are able to advise on all of these commercial documents and draft them where we are acting for the entity granting them.
Commercial Property Advice
Quite apart from transactional matters, we are also able to generally advise on Landlord or Tenant issues. When a matter becomes litigious, we are able to pass the matter over to our litigation department to continue with a dispute, if resolution is not possible without litigation.
