Frequently Asked Questions

How is a commercial property valued?

There are several ways that a commercial property valuation can be carried out, and our commercial property solicitors will walk you through the most suitable valuation for your own property (or one you’re looking to buy). The most common is income capitalisation, which examines the income that a property could expect to generate if it were occupied. Other methods include comparing similar properties that have sold recently, or calculating the cost that would be incurred if the property were built from scratch.

Do I need a solicitor to lease commercial property?

Legally, a solicitor isn’t required to lease a commercial property. That said, we’d strongly recommend that you speak to a commercial property solicitor, as commercial leases can be confusing and unwieldy if you’re not familiar with the terms and clauses they typically contain. We’ll break everything down for you in simple terms, so that you know exactly what your lease contains and whether you have any room for negotiation.

What’s considered commercial property?

Put simply, property is ‘commercial’ if it’s used to conduct business activities or generate a profit through rental income. This typically includes office and retail spaces, industrial properties (like warehouses), and hospitality venues. As a comprehensive law firm, we can help with both commercial and residential property matters, so please get in touch if you’re not sure which area your property would fall under.
