Commercial Property

Commercial property decisions can be complex. Legal advice makes all the difference whether you are leasing, buying or selling. You gain from up-to-date legal knowledge with no jargon.

At Aplins we regularly advise developers, retailers, businesses and individuals on freehold and leasehold transactions for all kinds of commercial properties from shops, offices and retail units to land for development and agricultural land.

Negotiations that can arise during commercial property transactions can be complicated and require a thorough understanding of the legal principles involved.

Our commercial property services include:

  • Buying and selling freehold property
  • Commercial leases
  • Mortgages
  • Option Agreements , Overage Agreements and Conditional Contracts
  • Advising Landlords and Tenants on existing leases e.g. renewing, assigning, subletting and rent reviews.
  • Agricultural Property

We are able to guide you through the procedures and discuss matters in plain English.

Option Agreements, Overage Agreements and Conditional Contracts

These areas are complex and can be fraught with pitfalls. We therefore recommend discussing your requirements at an early stage.
