We will advise of the sale or purchase of your property, from agreeing terms to completion

Our Property Acquisition Services Include:
- Pre-Acquisition Advice and Strategy
We provide advice on the commercial and legal aspects of acquiring property, helping you assess the suitability of potential properties for your business or investment goals. Our team ensures you understand the implications of the purchase, from planning considerations to any existing legal obligations or encumbrances.
- Due Diligence
One of the key stages in any property acquisition is conducting thorough due diligence. We carry out detailed checks to identify any issues that may affect the property’s value or your ability to use it as intended. This includes reviewing title documents, lease agreements, planning consents, environmental considerations, and any potential liabilities such as ongoing disputes.
- Negotiation and Contract Drafting
Our solicitors handle the negotiation of sale terms and conditions, ensuring that your interests are protected throughout the process. We provide expert advice on deposit requirements, completion dates, and any other special conditions that may apply. We also draft or review the sale and purchase agreement, ensuring it is clear, fair, and legally robust.
- Financing and Securing Funding
If financing is required for the acquisition, we work alongside your lenders to ensure that funding arrangements are structured properly and compliant with relevant financial regulations. Whether you are using commercial mortgages, bridging finance, or other forms of funding, we ensure the legal aspects are fully covered.
- Completion and Transfer of Ownership
Once terms are agreed and all necessary conditions are met, we manage the final stages of the transaction, including the exchange of contracts and the completion of the sale. We ensure that all required documents are executed and that ownership is transferred smoothly, with all necessary legal formalities attended to at the Land Registry and stamp duty paid promptly.
