Commercial

We act for current and prospective owner-occupiers, landlords and tenants of many different types of commercial property including shops, offices, pubs, restaurants, factories, warehouses and general business units.

• Building Surveys

  - we often undertake these detailed inspections for purchasers and prospective tenants, enabling us to advise fully on state of repair. Each report includes a balanced summary and, where appropriate, indicative repair costs.

• Schedules of Condition

  - a prospective tenant should usually have a property's state of repair professionally recorded. If an appropriate schedule is not drawn up a tenant may become liable to serious financial penalties. Expert advice must be obtained before entering into a lease.

• Dilapidations

  - a complicated subject, often misunderstood, these arise from the covenants contained in leases. We prepare Schedules of Dilapidations for landlords, and also act for tenants in Dilapidations claims. If parties to a lease are not properly represented they can lose considerable amounts.

• Specific Defect Surveys

  - we undertake these for owners and occupiers of commercial properties. These involve the investigation and diagnosis of individual building problems, and the provision of advice on remedial works required.

Prospective clients are welcome to contact us for an informal discussion about their particular requirements.
