Commercial Property
Your commercial premises will often be the most important factor controlling the future of your business. Whether you are acquiring a freehold or leasehold there are usually complex issues that need to be dealt with professionally and promptly. You will need advice relating to planning, taxation, landlord & tenant problems, the usual rights that properties need and are subject to, and restrictions on use.

If you are a landlord of commercial premises you will be faced with a wide range of problems including enforcement of payment of rent, dilapidations and consents to assignment. If you are a tenant, you may need help to stand up to landlords that attempt to impose unreasonable terms on you in lease negotiations. The team at Nantes has many years’ experience dealing with such issues plus an in-depth knowledge of the latest legislation.

	The acquisition of freehold and leasehold land and buildings
	Business lease renewals
