Commercial Property Law
Your commercial premises will often be the most important factor controlling the future of your business. Whether you are acquiring a freehold or leasehold property there are usually complex issues that need to be dealt with professionally and promptly. You may 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 may 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 of experience dealing with such issues plus an in-depth knowledge of the latest legislation.
