Landlord and Tenant Law

We pride ourselves on our reputation for being one of the leading firms of solicitors in the West Midlands for commercial landlord and tenant work.

We act for clients who wish to enter into new commercial lease, nenew their existing leases, obtain their landlord's consent to alter the premises.

Recently we have recently been instructed on behalf of tenants with distressed businesses and help them to improve their cash flow.

Commercial Freehold Sales and Purchases

If you need to relocate or move to new premises we can deal with the legal work for you. We are experts at dealing with the sale and purchase of industrial sites, residential development and offices. Acquisitions are made on behalf of individuals, businesses and pension schemes. 

We also offer a legal grooming service prior to the marketing of the property. This ensures all necessary legal information is available for the purchasers and their legal representatives as soon as a sale is agreed, thus enhancing the prospect of a swift and successful completion. 

Typical examples of recent deals of commercial property include;  

  • the sale of a property portfolio in London valued £18m
  • sale of industrial site in Alcester for £1.45m
  • conditional sale of property in Walsall for £850,000
  • Refinance of resdential flats in London, estimated value of £900,000. 
  • Sale and leaseback of commercial property in London for £2.3m. 

Commercial Lending

Our solicitors can advise you with commercial mortgages, charges, debentures and guarantees.

We are are retained on the specialist lending panels of major lending institutions and have established close contacts with them. This sometimes enables us to represent both you and the Lender in cases where separate representation would otherwise be required. As a result you may save both time and expense.

The team has also developed procedures that often enable us to process guarantees within a matterof days
