Commercial Property

Strategic legal support for commercial property transactions and investments

Whether you’re buying, selling, leasing or developing commercial property, you need legal advice that is clear, commercial and responsive.

We provide expert support to private individuals, investors, corporate occupiers and developers throughout the full property lifecycle – from acquisition to disposal and everything in between.

Our commercial property specialists understand the pace and complexity of the market and have extensive experience across a wide variety of real estate transactions.

We ensure that your matter is handled with strong commercial awareness and proactive risk management, working closely with you to progress your transaction efficiently, protect your interests and keep you updated every step of the way.

Expert advice, tailored to your goals

We regularly act for investors, landlords, tenants, lenders and developers across a wide range of sectors – including retail, hospitality, office, warehousing and mixed-use sites.

Whether you’re acquiring land for redevelopment or renewing a lease under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, we’ll provide practical, proactive advice to help you move forward with confidence.

Our approach is shaped by deep experience in all aspects of landlord and tenant work, sales and purchases of commercial property, option agreements, conditional contracts, overage arrangements, easements and auction work.

This allows us to identify issues early, structure deals effectively and guide clients through the finer details that often make the difference between delay and completion.

We also provide commercial property support on corporate transactions, ensuring that property considerations are aligned with wider business objectives.

We regularly advise on:

  • Acquisitions and disposals of freehold and leasehold property
  • Commercial leases and renewals (both inside and outside the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954)
  • Asset management and investment
  • Mortgages and refinancing arrangements
  • Options, overage, conditional contracts and TOGCs
  • Easements, covenants, adverse possession and boundary matters
  • Licences
  • Auction sales and auction pack review

Whatever your objectives – long-term investment, redevelopment, expanding your business footprint or business as usual – we’ll help you secure the best outcome.

Our advice is grounded in practical experience, commercial understanding and an ability to foresee obstacles before they affect your transaction.

Working with various lawyers at Mackrell LLP, I have always found the advice given to be clear and concise with excellent response times and lawyers who are a pleasure to work with. We chose Mackrell LLP in the first instance on the basis of a referral. Since our first contact with them, Mackrell LLP has shown itself to be large enough to provide advice over a range of specialities and yet small enough to treat you respectfully and as an individual.

The team at Mackrell LLP were superb to work with. The thoroughness and quality of their approach coupled with the personal way that they engaged with us meant that we were kept informed all the way through the transaction and our interests were always at the forefront of their considerations. Great team and a great result !
