Fixed fees for commercial property conveyancing in Devon, Somerset, and the South West.
Legal costs should not be an unexpected complication when you are buying, selling or leasing commercial premises.
We offer fixed fees for commercial property and business transactions. Wherever possible, we will agree our fee with you at the outset, based on the nature and complexity of the transaction. You will receive a clear quotation before we begin work, so you understand what is included and are able to budget with confidence.
Commercial property leases
Whether you are a landlord granting a new lease or a business owner taking on premises for the first time, it is important that the lease properly reflects the agreement you have reached.
Our commercial property team will explain the terms clearly, identify the practical and legal risks, and help you deal with any points that need to be resolved before the lease is completed.
Our commercial lease fixed fee structure:
- New commercial leases from £1,250 plus VAT
- Lease assignments from £1,250 plus VAT
- Lease renewals from £1,250 plus VAT
We can also assist with licences to assign, authorised guarantee agreements, deeds of variation and lease surrenders, all on a fixed fee.
We will assess your transaction and provide you with a fixed fee quote.
Commercial property sales and purchases
Buying or selling commercial property involves more than transferring the legal title. Depending on the transaction, it may also involve lease arrangements, occupational rights, planning matters, access, services, restrictive covenants, funding requirements, and VAT considerations.
We provide practical advice throughout the transaction and work with lenders, accountants, surveyors, and other advisers where necessary.
Our commercial property sale and purchase fixed fee structure is as follows:
- Commercial property sales from £1,950 plus VAT
- Commercial property purchases from £2,250 plus VAT
- Commercial refinancing from £1,500 plus VAT
These starting fees apply to appropriate, straightforward transactions. We will provide an individually tailored quotation once we have established the details of the property, the proposed transaction, and any particular legal issues involved.
Buying or selling a business
A business transaction can include several connected elements. As well as the purchase or sale of the business assets, it may involve commercial property, a new lease or lease assignment, employees, equipment, stock, contracts, licences and arrangements for completion.
Having one legal adviser who understands the whole transaction can help keep the different elements coordinated and reduce the risk of something important being overlooked.
Our fees for asset sales start at £2,500 plus VAT and purchases start from £2,950.00 plus VAT. For businesses involving commercial premises, we can offer a fixed fee package covering both the business and property aspects of the transaction.
Experienced, partner-led support
Commercial transactions vary significantly. A straightforward lease of a small retail unit will not involve the same amount of work as purchasing a trading hotel, pub or holiday park.
For that reason, our published prices are starting points rather than set fees for every matter. Before confirming our quotation, we will consider matters such as:
- The value and complexity of the transaction
- Whether the property is freehold or leasehold
- Whether bank funding is involved
- The number of parties and documents
- Whether the business has employees
- Any unusual title, planning or contractual issues
- The timescale for completion
This enables us to provide a realistic quotation and ensure that the work is handled with the level of attention it requires.
