Our commercial property solicitors can advise clients on commercial property matters in Holywood, Belfast and throughout Northern Ireland. Whether you are purchasing business premises, selling an investment property, negotiating a commercial lease or dealing with an existing property interest, we can advise on the legal issues involved.
Buying and Selling Commercial Property
Buying or selling commercial property requires careful consideration of the property’s title, contractual arrangements and any matters that could affect its ownership or use.
When acting on a commercial property purchase, we can investigate title, review the contractual documentation, raise appropriate enquiries and advise on matters identified during the transaction.
For property owners selling commercial premises, we can prepare and review the relevant documentation, respond to enquiries from the purchaser’s solicitors and deal with issues relating to the title and transaction.
We can also work alongside lenders, accountants, agents and other professional advisers where required.
Commercial Leases
A commercial lease establishes the legal relationship between a landlord and business tenant and can create obligations lasting for many years.
Before entering into a lease, it is important that both landlords and tenants understand the terms being agreed and the responsibilities those terms create.
We can advise on commercial leases involving offices, shops, industrial units and other business premises. This can include matters relating to the length of the lease, rent, repairs, insurance, service charges, permitted use, alterations, assignment and termination provisions.
Advice for Commercial Landlords
Commercial landlords need to consider both the immediate terms of a letting and how those terms may affect the property over the course of the lease.
We can assist landlords with preparing and negotiating leases and associated property documentation, as well as advising on issues arising during an existing tenancy.
Where a tenant wishes to assign a lease, make alterations or otherwise change the existing arrangements, we can advise on the property documentation and the landlord’s position.
Advice for Commercial Tenants
Taking on business premises can represent a substantial commitment. The rent is only one aspect of the arrangement, with a lease potentially placing additional responsibilities on the tenant for repairs, insurance, service charges and other property costs.
Before a lease is entered into, we can review its terms and advise on the obligations it creates.
This allows business owners to understand the legal implications of the proposed arrangement before committing to the premises.
Commercial Property Investment
Commercial property may be acquired as a business asset or as an investment, and the nature of the transaction can affect the legal work required.
Our commercial property solicitors act for investors acquiring or disposing of commercial property and advise on existing occupational arrangements affecting the premises.
Where a property is being purchased with tenants already in occupation, the terms of those leases and the rights and obligations attached to them will form an important part of the legal review.
Lease Renewals, Assignments and Other Property Matters
Commercial property requirements often continue after a lease has been signed or a purchase has completed.
Changes in a business may lead to a tenant seeking to transfer a lease, move premises or alter the way a property is used. Landlords may also need advice when dealing with requests from existing tenants or making new arrangements for their property.
Our commercial property solicitors can advise on lease renewals, assignments, property agreements and other landlord and tenant matters arising during the ownership or occupation of commercial premises.
