Commercial Property Purchasing

Legal advice for commercial property purchases

Purchasing a commercial property is not a step that is taken lightly, nor should it be done without the guidance of an expert commercial property lawyer. The purchase of premises requires a significant investment and should be navigated with legal assistance to ensure that this important step in your business' life cycle is a success. There are four key areas in the commercial property sector:

• Office spaces
• Industrial premises: warehousing, storage
• Retail: shops, pop ups, supermarkets, shopping centres
• Alternative locations: hotels, services spaces, restaurants, pubs, gyms, cinemas

As commercial property is regulated by the Town and Country Planning (Uses Classes) Order 1987 which breaks down the type of classes for each property, you will need to ensure that your business can be carried out in the particular property.
