For our business clients our services extend to the sale and purchase of business premises which would normally include offices, shops, factories, warehouses, etc. We will ensure that you have good title and are able to use the building for a specific purpose. If it is a new building we will advise on all the various warranties which should be provided by the builder and or architect.

• We can assist you in transfers into and out of pension schemes and any associated loans.
  
  
• We can act for you in granting to a tenant or taking from a landlord a lease of commercial premises and assistance in the very complex procedures concerning renewal, rent reviews, dilapidations and the many obligations normally taken on by a tenant of business premises.
  
  
• Leases and tenancy agreements can vary from leases of commercial premises such as shops in precincts, office blocks and factory premises, to shorter term leases of shops and offices, domestic leases for the letting of a house and licences to occupy.
  
  
• We can advise and prepare leases and tenancy agreements for you whether you are a landlord or a tenant, deal with rent reviews, renewals, claims for dilapidations, proceedings for possession, arrears of rent, breaches of covenant, for example to repair and insure, or to use only in a specified manner, and generally advise you on all aspects of your lease or tenancy.
  
  
• In the case of builder clients, we can advise on the issues which must be considered before commencing a development, such as rights of way, drainage rights, the making up of roads and agreements with local authorities and NHBC or Zurich certificates.
