Selling
Manage the sale of your property and you will be able to optimise the price. What is best will depend on the commercial property or lease being sold. You need to know that after the sale your position is well protected, and that there will be no hidden liabilities to strike you after selling the commercial property. You need to know that you are in good hands with the experience to ensure a liability free future. Having bought and sold residential and commercial properties ranging from shopping centres to office blocks and headquarters buildings, and from warehouses to retail outlets we are able to advise confidently on a huge variety of properties, to give you a secure future.
There is any number of reasons for selling commercial property:
- Realising an investment
- Relocating
- Upgrading to better premises
- Selling the property on after completing a development
If you know you are preparing for sale, we want to be involved at this first stage. Tying in a buyer as soon after first interest is vital. We will prepare the relevant package of documentation for selling commercial property to speed the process up to the exchange of commercial property agreements to concluding the transaction by putting in the preparation.
Avoid a stumbling block by asking us to check the sale particulars and heads of terms. Ensure that you are able to sell everything you want to sell, being aware of boundary changes and encroachments.
We also want to help you understand the process of selling commercial property and advise on avoiding future claims.
- Is there a potential contamination issue?
- Should you obtain a release from your landlord covenants?
- Are you at risk of an action for misrepresentation on information given or withheld in the pre-contract disclosure?
You need not be nervous about these things and they should certainly not deter you from commercial property ownership. However, without the right advice, nasty surprises do occur and may be costly. For example, in some circumstances, it is a criminal offence to sell a block of flats.
