Commercial buying & selling
We act for individuals and businesses of all sizes and we have purchased and sold a wide range of commercial properties.
There are many reasons you may be purchasing or selling commercial property.
​​​
You may be buying because you wish to own your business premises and have greater freedom to use it as you like or you may be buying as an investment and intend to let the property or improve it and sell it on at a profit.
​
You may be selling because you wish to reduce overheads or realise the investment value.​
​
Buying a commercial property is often a large investment for your business. We will investigate the title to the property to make sure you will be able to use your premises lawfully and so you can sell it on and realise your investment at a later date.
​
We provide advice and support throughout the transaction to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible and that the conveyancing completes with a minimal amount of fuss, to a timescale you need and at a cost you have agreed. ​​
“Jo really resonates with us both in personality and work ethic! She is super efficient, has a very commercial approach, makes things very easy to understand, is a master technician in her field."
