Property development
By involving us at an early stage, we can assist with due diligence and negotiations at pre-contract stage. We are thorough in addressing any problematic issues from the outset of a transaction so they don’t become obstacles at a later stage. As specialists in planning and environmental matters we have expertise in site acquisitions, conditional contracts, planning permissions, and leases.
We have also represented many landowners, investors and occupiers, ensuring they secure the best terms possible, and this means obtaining value for money and the negotiation of robust contractual terms with property developers, contractors and suppliers.
Acquisition and disposals
We advise on acquisitions and disposals of all types of commercial property whether through private sale or auction. The service encompasses the initial drafting of the sale contract and the initial due diligence process up to and including completion and dealing with any post completion matters at HM Revenue & Customs, HM Land Registry and Companies House.
Property Finance
We are able to work with all types of lenders and can advise on regulated loans, alternative finance, bridging, peer-to-peer lending, secured lending, development finance, mezzanine finance, loans and creditor agreements to help you negotiate the deal on the terms that are likely to best serve your interests.
We can also act for clients in matters relating to securing finance against commercial property. Our commercial property team can also assist in drafting heads of terms and negotiating the price on commercial property.
