Commercial Property

Specialist, experienced and high quality commercial property advice  

Our Commercial Property team effectively handles the entire property life-cycle and acts for a broad range of clients including developers, investors, landlords, tenants and house builders in respect of properties situated throughout the UK.  In addition, we also have an experienced secured lending team acting for various locally based banks and financial institutions on commercial lending transactions relating to development sites and investment property portfolios for customers and properties all over the UK.

Our specialist department is recommended by the Legal 500 as one of the leading commercial property teams based in Wales acting for “a broad range of clients” but with a focus on “real estate finance” and “development work”.

Chambers and Partners recognise that we are a “well-regarded practice” offering “personal attention” and being “very thorough” with “particular expertise in handling matters relating to commercial lending and development”.

We have the ability and expertise to understand all issues and commercial pressures affecting our clients, and can offer our clients a practical and bespoke commercial approach.

At the same time, we appreciate that on occasion our clients require advice on property issues and transactions of a more straightforward nature.  Our team is of a sufficient size and experience to ensure that we offer a wide range of services at the right cost.  We can offer fixed fees in most transactional matters.

Ensuring that our clients’ commercial interests are protected is our primary objective and across the UK our clients rely on us to orchestrate large and often complex commercial property transactions.  By working collaboratively we are able to deliver an exceptional cost effective service.

We have a strong sense of pride in our ability to provide our clients with exemplary services.  We make it our business to gain a deep understanding of your business.
