Commercial property transactions require high legal expertise and attention to detail. Whether you’re buying, selling, leasing or refinancing business premises, our Birmingham-based commercial conveyancing team will ensure the process is handled professionally from start to finish.
We act for landlords, tenants, investors, and developers across various property types, including retail units, office spaces, warehouses, industrial sites, and land for development. Our role is to make sure everything is done thoroughly, correctly, and in your best interest so that you can move forward.
What is Commercial Conveyancing?
Commercial conveyancing is the legal process of transferring interests in non-residential property. It covers everything from freehold purchases and leasehold agreements to refinancing and landlord-tenant arrangements.
While the basic legal principles are similar to residential transactions, commercial conveyancing involves greater complexity. It often includes detailed lease terms, planning conditions, rights of way, service agreements, environmental considerations, and sometimes overage or clawback provisions. That’s why instructing an experienced solicitor is essential.
Our Process
We’ll start by gathering key information about the property and your commercial objectives. From there, we’ll conduct all necessary legal checks and searches, review or draft contract documentation, and manage communications with any third parties involved—such as mortgage lenders, tenants, agents, or local authorities.
If you’re purchasing, we’ll ensure the title is clean, the lease is favourable, and the property is suitable for your intended use. If you’re selling or leasing, we’ll help you present the asset in the strongest legal position, minimising risk and delay.
Throughout the process, we’ll keep you fully updated, explain key points in plain English, and advise you on your legal obligations and options.
Typical Timescales
Typically, straightforward commercial property transactions can be completed within 6 to 12 weeks. However, more complex matters—such as those involving multiple tenants, planning permissions, or long leaseholds—can take longer. From the outset, we’ll provide realistic timeframes and flag any potential delays early.
Costs & Fees
We offer competitive fixed-fee packages where possible, with complete transparency on disbursements such as search fees, Land Registry charges, and Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). Every transaction differs, so we’ll provide a tailored quote once we understand your requirements.
If you’re a business owner, landlord or developer looking for long-term legal support, we offer retained services and ongoing advisory packages.
