Commercial property can refer to any land or building that is used for business purposes. There are many types of commercial property including office buildings, apartment complexes, retail units, hotels and hospitality, warehouses, agricultural land and buildings, and manufacturing units.

Commercial property law is often complex so is best handled by an expert commercial property solicitor. If a commercial property transaction is not handled correctly this can present difficulties further down the road that you may not have anticipated.

A specialist property lawyer will be able to assist in the resolution of any legal matters that may arise in connection with commercial premises. This often involves taking care of all the legal aspects of the sale or purchase of a commercial property but can also extend to other areas including advice regarding property investment, legal aspects of building development, planning permission, change of use, funding, property portfolio management, tenant/landlord dispute and more.

The costs of legal services from a commercial property lawyer are dependent on many different factors. This includes the type of property or numbers of properties and the purpose intended for that building or site. More intricate plans for a site, including a change of use, will generally involve greater costs.
