Virtually all businesses of whatever type and size will have interests in land and buildings. Appropriate due diligence needs to be carried out by a buyer and its advisers in relation to those interests whether the transaction is the sale and purchase of shares or assets.

When selling shares in or the assets of a business it is sensible to make sure that the property interests have been properly documented and protected at the earliest possible opportunity to avoid any last minute surprises which could lead to delay and additional cost.

Our commercial property solicitors work closely with our colleagues in the corporate and commercial departments to ensure that the property aspects of any business transaction including MBOs, MBIs and other types of business deal are dealt with in a proper and timely manner so that your transaction is completed without any last minute property hitches. 

We regularly advise in relation to:

• Investigation of title and other pre contract due diligence-searches
• Property warranties and property specific contracts
• Disclosure and deduction of title
• Audit of a vendor’s property affairs and resolving potential issues pre contract
• The appointment of surveyors, valuers and other property professionals where appropriate
• Property specific funding arrangements including discharge of existing mortgages
