    What is commercial conveyancing?

    The Legal process of transferring the ownership of commercial property or land from one entity to another. Unlike residential conveyancing, commercial conveyancing has far more complex issues involving planning, use class, stamp duty and VAT, which all come into play during this process.

    Commercial conveyancing can involve complex lease drafting and making sure the client is aware of all forfeiture and extension rules applicable.

    The experienced team at Fairmont Law solicitors can advise on forfeiture even if the lease does not have a clause incorporated within and advise on risks associated with commercial properties under the new regulations.

    What types of commercial properties require conveyancing?

    All buying, selling and leasing commercial premises have a legal process that requires experienced solicitors to make sure you are not tied into a contract that does not work for you. Advising on legal implication of a premises and knowing your rights when you decide to sell or purchase a freehold or leasehold is crucial to manage your assets in a way that allows your money to grow for you.

    Which sectors is Fairmont Law able to provide services to?

    We can provide services for all business premises and sectors including retail, industrial, construction, development and healthcare.

    What are the costs associated with your services?

    I cannot recommend **Elizabeth Desouza at Fairmont Law Solicitors** highly enough. Elizabeth acted for us in both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new property, and throughout the entire process she was outstanding. She was always professional, approachable and incredibly efficient, keeping us informed at every stage and explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. Buying and selling as part of a chain can be stressful, particularly when unexpected issues arise, but Elizabeth led us through the process with confidence and reassurance. She was always easy to contact, responded promptly to our emails and calls, and took the time to answer every question thoroughly. We always felt that our interests were being looked after. Our transaction became quite complex towards the end, with delays elsewhere in the chain, but Elizabeth remained proactive, patient and focused on getting the matter over the line. Her communication and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout. Thank you, Elizabeth, for all of your hard work, guidance and support. We are so grateful for everything you did to help us complete the sale and purchase successfully. We would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth and Fairmont Law Solicitors to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive and trustworthy conveyancing solicitor.

    We can’t recommend Elizabeth highly enough. She handled the sale of our flat from start to finish with real professionalism and care. She was always quick to respond to our questions, explained every step of the process clearly, and kept things moving even when a few complications came up along the way. Thank you Elizabeth and Fairmont Solicitors!

    We have recently sold and bought using Fairmont Law. Elizabeth was amazing throughout!! Having been through this process for the first time, we were quite nervous to begin with - we couldn't have chosen a better person to see us through!! From the start of the process to the finish line, she was very professional, knowledgeable and re-assuring, with any questions or queries we had. Always picking up the phone, always taking time to listen to our queries and giving us the right advice where needed. All throughout the process we have been really looked after and felt we were in the best of hands. We cannot recommend Elizabeth and Fairmont Law enough!!!

    How long does commercial conveyancing usually take?

    Generally, the conveyancing process typically takes between 4-12 week’s, however, it is all dependent upon the complexity of the case alongside the efficiency of the sellers/buyer’s conveyancers.

    Why appoint a commercial conveyancing solicitor? 

    A good conveyancing solicitor provides legal guidance, negotiation on behalf of the clients, and ensures that their rights and interests are protected throughout the whole transaction.

    Why choose Fairmont Law Solicitors?

    Fairmont Law Solicitors maintain deep understanding of commercial property and the commercial world, meaning we are highly sought after for our expertise throughout the UK, and all our specialist departments are led by experienced senior head of departments offering our clients carefully considered and concise advice, no matter the complexity of the issue at hand.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Recommended commercial property searches include:

    • Local authority search and local land charges search.
    • Highway search.
    • Drainage and water search. 
    • Environmental search. 
    • Flood risk search. 
    • Coal mining search.
    • Chancel repair search.
    • Utilities search.

    While these terms may sound complicated, they have two simple meanings:

    Freehold- You own the property and the land it’s built on for as long as you want.

    Leasehold- You own the property for a set period, but not the land it’s built on.

    In a leasehold property, the lessee leases the property from the owner for a particular period with restrictions related to transfer and ownership. On the contrary, a freehold property gives complete property ownership without any restrictions on its construction, modification, and transfer.

    Commercial disputes can have dire consequences, including loss of trade, reputational damage, and stress for business owners and employees.

    It is important to hire a professional solicitor who has the knowledge and expertise to handle your matter as commercial disputes can be costly and time consuming and wrong advice can cost the client thousands if not millions of pounds. We eliminate the process by using dispute resolution to save costs and time and try to manage disputes outside of court.

    Yes, all commercial property purchase is open to negotiation. Negotiation skills are a must-have for buyers aiming to secure favourable terms, navigate complexities and get a mutually beneficial deal.

    Possible negotiation objectives might include an initial rent-free period while you fit out the premises, a break clause allowing you to end the lease early.

    Commercial properties involve tenants that are businesses or multifamily apartments with five or more units. Residential properties are those where people live, such as single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, or apartment buildings with four or fewer units.

    Commercial properties generally have longer terms and lower vacancy rates than residential, providing more reliable income streams. However, they also come with higher expenses like insurance, taxes and maintenance.
