Commercial property acquisitions & disposals

Our property solicitors have substantial experience in dealing with the sale or acquisition of property portfolios. We have experience in acting on behalf of both established property companies and high net worth individuals. Property work can be complex and we are able to advise on risks that may not be immediately apparent.

Commercial property acquisition and diversification are often seen as more stable investments. This is due to the fact that property is not interlinked with other assets such as bonds and the stock market for example. Property moves independently, making it less susceptible to volatility. However, it is not risk free as it does move with market forces including recessions and booms.

Whether you are looking to buy or sell either a portfolio of freehold reversions, a block of flats, mixed use investments or commercial properties our experience and knowledge can be invaluable and we will ensure that it is handed by an experienced property solicitor from the outset. Call our highly experienced commercial property team on 01616 966 229 for a free, no obligation initial chat.
