Commercial property
When it comes to buying, selling or leasing commercial property, we know you can’t afford the uncertainty of long drawn-out transactions. With Kidd Rapinet you can be sure of a fast and reliable commercial conveyancing service.
Our clients come from all sectors of the economy – including independent landlords, small family businesses, local authorities, utility boards, multinationals and banks. Whoever we represent, we’ll devote the same dedication and experience to ensure your commercial property transaction proceeds smoothly and with minimum delay.
Fixed fee pricing putting you in control
Property law can be complex, involving ownership, use, access, covenants and a host of other issues so our fixed pricing policy means that whatever happens you stay in control of costs. Our experienced commercial property lawyers avoid the jargon, explaining the law to ensure you avoid expensive pitfalls.
Local authority planning agreements
If you’re looking to develop a commercial property, we can help you negotiate with the local planning authority under Section 106 (requiring developers to mitigate the impact of new property on the local community) and Section 278 (for developments that involve changes to public highways).
Like any conveyancing transaction the timescales vary on the readiness of parties involved and the complexity of the transaction. On average it can take 6 to 12 weeks from initial agreement, however, multiple parties and more complex transactions will take longer.
Local authority searches for planning issues or restrictions, Environmental searches to search for any risks e.g. contamination, Water & drainage – to ensure property is connected to services and Title searches to check legal ownership and any encumbrances on the property.
Thorough investigation of the property to uncover any liabilities or potential issues is key. Planning permissions and regulations, environmental compliance, details of leases and obligations and much more all form part of the solicitors due diligence in a commercial property purchase.
A commercial conveyancing solicitor is required for the purchase or sale of any commercial property. This can be an office, a shop, an industrial unit or any other type of commercial building.
