COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SALE

Retail commercial property

Commercial Property Sale

Commercial sales require attention to the property, ownership structure, and negotiated terms. We provide legal support tailored to the transaction.

Reviewing a real estate contract

Review the transaction documents

Provide the agreement, corporate ownership details, leases, financing documents, and relevant property records. The required review depends on the transaction and retainer.

Mortgage calculations and model home

Coordinate completion

We identify the legal closing requirements and work with the other professionals involved. Tax, accounting, and other specialist matters may require separate advice.

Commercial terms and property use

A commercial sale should address the land and any other interests or assets included in the deal. The agreement may require conditions, document delivery, allocation of price, and specific closing obligations.

Identify the intended use

Permitted use, access, services, and development plans can affect the transaction. Planning, environmental, technical, and tax advice may be needed alongside legal review.

Leases, income, and due diligence

Occupied premises can require review of leases, amendments, deposits, arrears, options, and notices. Buyers and lenders may also seek information about the property’s condition and legal interests.

Organize the records

Provide the lease package, ownership details, title information, financing arrangements, and relevant property documents. Missing records can affect the timetable and the contractual allocation of risk.

Financing and completion requirements

Commercial closing can involve corporate authority, secured borrowing, releases, adjustments, and detailed deliverables. The parties should understand what must be provided before funds and title are exchanged.

Coordinate the professionals

Identify the lender, accountant, broker, and other advisors involved. We discuss the retainer and the legal work needed to support the agreed transaction.

Prepare a commercial due-diligence package

Commercial records should be reviewed against the conditions and representations in the agreement. Identify which documents are unavailable and which issues need specialist investigation. We discuss the legal requirements while coordinating with business, tax, environmental, and technical advisors as appropriate.

Documents to prepare

  • Agreement, schedules, and closing deliverables
  • Leases, amendments, deposits, and tenant notices
