Why choose Fishers Solicitors for your commercial property deal?

Our solicitors understand how important it is to consider the business implications of any commercial property deal and ensure that your financial and legal interests are protected at all time. We have the experience to make sure your deal goes ahead cost-effectively, while securing your long-term business interests.

We recognise that you and your business have unique requirements that are unlikely to be best served by a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, we offer a tailored approach to handling your commercial property issues, taking the time to understand what you need to happen and what your concerns are. We then take you through your options in plain English, so you can have complete confidence that we are making the right legal choices for your business.

Fishers Solicitors is a Lexcel-accredited law firm, which recognises the quality of our practice management and customer care and reflects the excellence of our legal service. We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

 

Our commercial property services in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Derby & Tamworth

We can support you with all types of commercial property transactions, including:

  • Sale or purchase of commercial property
  • Drafting and negotiating commercial leases
  • Development and planning
  • Finance and security Break clauses
  • Commercial landlord and tenant issues
  • Dilapidation claims
  • Commercial property disputes

 

We regularly work with a wide range of businesses and entrepreneurs on commercial property such as:

  • Shops and other retail space
  • Offices
  • Pubs, restaurants, bars and cafes
  • Hotels
  • Buying and selling development sites
  • Commercial property developments

 

An experienced commercial conveyancing lawyer can carry out a number of different checks and other essential tasks to ensure your interests are protected at all times. These include:

  • Investigating the title of the property in question to make sure a person selling/leasing a property to you has the right to do so.
  • Drafting and reviewing contracts of sale or commercial leases to ensure your interests are protected.
  • Making sure any issues with the contract or lease are addressed and any necessary amendments made.
  • Carrying out essential checks and searches to see if there will be any issues that would affect your occupation of a property e.g. if there are any major new developments planned nearby.
  • Preparing Transfer Deeds and Mortgage Deeds where required, to ensure the financial side of the transaction is taken care of.

 

Commercial contracts of sale and commercial leases can often be very long, complicated and highly technical documents. The average person does not typically have the expertise to fully understand these documents and identify any potential problems without the assistance of a trained legal professional. This means that if you attempt to buy, sell or lease commercial property without the assistance of a solicitor there is a much higher chance of you making a costly mistake.
