Commercial Property FAQ
Who is responsible for repairing and maintaining commercial property?
Responsibility often depends on the terms of the lease. Typically, tenants are responsible for day-to-day upkeep and compliance with health and safety requirements, while landlords retain responsibility for structural repairs. However, this can vary significantly, and lease terms should always be carefully considered and negotiated before completion.
What legal checks need to be carried out before I buy a commercial property?
Thorough commercial property due diligence is essential before buying a commercial property to identify risks, confirm legal ownership and ensure suitability for your business. We will carry out key legal checks, including:
- title searches at HM Land Registry
- local authority and environmental searches
- planning and permitted use.
- Review of lease, covenants and restrictions
- Enquiries into disputes, liabilities and compliance issues
This ensures that you fully understand the property and any risks before committing to a transaction so you can proceed with confidence.

- Planning permission(s) and use class restrictions,
