• Complex land sale agreements which are conditional upon site assembly, satisfactory planning permission free from onerous conditions, or containing overage provisions (rights to share in future profits)
• Option agreements requiring a landowner to sell on satisfaction of certain conditions; or for a purchaser to purchaser
• Rights of first refusal (pre-emption agreements)
• Restricting the use of land or negotiating to remove restrictions on the use of land

Landlords

When you grant a lease, you’ll want to make sure that your lease is fully compliant with the terms that have been pre-agreed. We can help make sure your agreements are water-tight and are understood by both parties.

Commercial Tenants & Occupiers

When you accept a commercial property lease, you need to make sure you’re aware of exactly what you’re signing up for.
Our commercial conveyancing solicitors can help explain the small print of your lease so you don’t come across any unexpected surprises during your tenancy.

We can also help negotiate an early release/termination of your tenancy if you wish to vacate the premises. Alternatively, if you wish to continue renting once the lease has ended, then we can help you with lease renewals.
