Commercial Property

'Let us help you'

Hedleys advise on all aspects of commercial property whether it be property development commercial leases, underleases, lease renewals, sale or purchase of commercial premises. Commercial property practice, and in particular landlord and tenant law can be daunting and a far cry from the domestic conveyancing process that most of us are familiar with. It is no longer only the major corporate law firms with the inevitable price tag that assist you in this area of the law which includes:

Acquisitions and disposals: We can provide both technical help and legal advice regarding property acquisitions and disposals, and can help clients to decipher the complex, associated legal documents.
Option agreements: If you are unsure as to whether you require an option agreement, a conditional contract, a pre emption agreement or a joint venture, our lawyers are able to provide legal advice and guidance at every stage of the commercial property transaction.
Residential or commercial property development: From a barn conversion to a multi unit residential development, a maisonette conversion to an apartment block or a small shop unit to a business park, we have the necessary skills and experience to provide legal advice on infrastructure documentation, sale contracts, plot transfers and leases.
Overage: If you are hoping to benefit from the future development of land which you are currently selling, our solicitors will draft the necessary claw back and/or overage deeds.
Landlords: Whether you are leasing a shop for a limited period or require a firm to prepare leases for an office block or business park, we are able to assist.
Asset Management: we regularly advise on with licences to assign leases, rent deposit deeds, licences to carry out works and notices to quit. We liaise closely with our dispute resolution department to provide the necessary support should difficulties arise with tenants.
Tenants: Whether you are leasing a shop unit, office block or industrial unit, we can provide legal advice and support.

Client Feedback

"Some of our previous experiences with the legal profession have been a bit hit and miss, but we are delighted with Hedleys. The service Sarah Christmas provides is fantastic – she responds very quickly to our calls, much faster than many firms would. Communication is excellent and we value that very highly as we work to tight deadlines and need regular updates. Hedleys provide the kind of all round business model that our company now needs, and we are happy to recommend them."

Marble Hill Property Consultants

"The purchase of a large number of property leases and the freehold was planned against a very tight schedule and deadline. Hedleys operated efficiently, without delays, and enabled us to complete our purchase within our timescales."

Roger Charters Birchwood Asset Management Ltd

"I was initially recommended to Hedleys by my accountants, and I have been very impressed with the service I have received. Sarah Christmas handled my property dispute extremely efficiently, responding quickly and patiently to my many emails, and making the whole process stress free. I have subsequently worked with Chris Hughes, who has an excellent eye for detail and ensured the ideal outcome for me. I feel in safe hands with Hedleys – they really are focused on my best interests."

Des Reid

"I originally chose Hedleys as they were local to where we lived, and I think the fact that I have used them 3 times in relatively quick succession speaks for itself. During this period I also used another solicitor, and this made me realise just how good the Hedley practice is – they provide swift communication and very professional advice, and have reasonable charges. I would definitely recommend them."

John Derry

"I first used Hedleys as they were my Uncle’s solicitor. I developed a confident and positive relationship with Chris Hughes and found him to be effective, efficient and plain speaking. I built up a trust with Chris, which I felt was very important, and I knew that my best interests were being secured. Because we communicated mostly via email this made contact easy for both parties, enabling us to look at formal documents and ratify anything. Above all, I was impressed with the quiet efficiency of the processes and I have absolute confidence in Hedleys."

Richard Williams

"I found Hedleys by doing a Google search on local solicitors. I chose them because they responded quickly and were well priced. And I certainly wasn’t disappointed! They dealt with everything in a timely and friendly fashion. They were happy to go the extra mile, and I felt they really fought my corner. They were very personable, good value for money, quick and efficient. In fact, I was so pleased with the service I even sent flowers!"
