Expert Legal Advice for Business Premises

Choosing between a business lease and a licence is a critical decision, as each creates different rights, responsibilities, and risks. A lease grants exclusive possession of premises for a fixed term, while a licence allows occupation but without security of tenure. At Quality Solicitors, we provide clear, practical advice to help protect your business and ensure full compliance with UK property law.

Buying and selling business property

QualitySolicitors can help businesses to buy or sell their commercial property. There are many issues to consider, and we can make sure you understand every one. Buying or selling a business property is one of the most significant financial commitments a company will make. According to HM Land Registry, most routine property transactions are completed within 15 to 45 days, with almost all finalised within 4 to 5 months. Having expert legal support can help keep your deal within these timescales. Delays or mistakes can increase costs, disrupt operations, or even cause deals to collapse.

If you have a commercial property, your business will rely upon it to trade. It may be a café, shop, pub, office or warehouse – whatever it is, it needs to be cared for. Quality Solicitors can advise on leases, laws and litigation so you can carry on doing business.

Landlords

Many businesses operate from premises owned by a landlord. Relationships between commercial landlords and business tenants are usually positive but disagreements can sometimes arise - causing problems for either party. Whether you are a business owner experiencing problems with your landlord or you are a landlord having difficulties with a tenant we can help you to get the relationship back on track.

Notarial services for commercial property

If your business has property interests abroad, there will be times when you need to present documentation to foreign authorities. Because every country has its own property laws it’s important to ensure your documents will be accepted in other countries. It may therefore be necessary to have the documents validated (notarised) by a Notary so that they will be accepted by a particular country’s authorities.
