Commercial Conveyancing

Quite simply put - conveyancing deals with the legal side of buying and selling property so commercial conveyancing deals with the buying and selling of commercial property. Unless your business operates out of your own home, every business will require a property. Commercial conveyancing lawyers understand the weight of each commercial conveyancing transaction. Often the right property in the right location can make or break a business. Also, the building your business is housed in can add to your business's image. Therefore, if you are a business owner who is looking to buy property, you should ensure that you instruct a solicitor who specialises in commercial conveyancing. A commercial conveyancing solicitor will know the legalities of conveyancing transactions like the back of their hand and this will give you the best chance of avoiding any complications when you are buying or selling business property.

What can my conveyancing solicitor deal with?

A commercial conveyancing solicitor will deal with processes involved in the buying and selling of properties such as: obtaining title deeds, drafting contracts, legal reports, the exchange of contracts, transfer of money from buyer to seller, transfer deeds, stamp duty land tax and registration with the Land Registry.

Some solicitors who specialise in conveyancing also specialise in other areas of commercial property law. If you need a solicitor to deal with lease acquisition or disposal you also should also contact a commercial conveyancing solicitor. Similarly you should contact a commercial conveyancing solicitor if you are planning on sub-letting a business premises.

Who should I instruct?

Think about who you instruct carefully, so you are completely happy. Consider the following:

- You should instruct a specialist conveyancing solicitor or licensed conveyancer. They have the best legal knowledge to do the job most effectively.

- You should ensure that the individual you instruct is regulated and insured.

- Ensure that your lender is happy with your choice of solicitor before you instruct them so you do not incur any extra costs. Some mortgage lenders will not let you proceed with a conveyancing transaction unless you have instructed one of the solicitors they have approved. Lists of these solicitors can be obtained from your lender.

- Do you want to speak to your solicitor face to face or over the phone? Location may sway your decision.

- Consider the service you are getting, paying more may mean you have a far better service. Do your homework well and try to go for the perfect balance of reputation and cost.

- Finally, instruct someone you are happy with. Talking with your solicitor before you instruct them could be helpful. You want a solicitor you can communicate effectively with to make the conveyancing process as stress free as possible.
