Most businesses when they get to a certain size will require a dedicated property to house staff and/or machinery. The rules for acquisition or disposal of commercial property are very different than for residential property, and as the property becomes/is an asset of the company (when bought) or a significant fixed cost (when leased) there is a large overlap into company financial regulations. It can become a significant management challenge to deal with all the potential pitfalls and cost so getting the right advice and streamlining the process is of utmost importance, whether you are a large multinational or a local SME. 

A selection of the most common issues we can deal with are:

• buying and selling all types of commercial properties
• granting and taking leases
• development
• businesses and corporate support options
• restrictive covenants/commercial easements
• financing
• mineral leases
• portfolio clients
• when things go wrong
• investment property
