Whatever your business premises requirements please do get in touch and see how we can help.
If you are a franchisor or franchisee looking to take on new business premises, we can look to provide clear and targeted advice specific to franchise matters, as well as usual matters, including:
For clients owning pubs, bars, or restaurants, we can assist them in transferring their premises licence to their buyer or tenant, or alternatively we can acquire an existing premises licence when acting for a buyer or tenant.
Increasingly, we see our clients looking to realise some of the value in their land by negotiating with local or national developers. There are varying types of agreement which can be made with the developer to purchase the land, should they be able to obtain appropriate planning permission to develop, whilst protecting your interest to the increase in value.
Our team are experienced in drafting, reviewing and negotiating the following:
We will also liaise with agents and valuers to ensure that any deal entered into is both legally binding and commercially appropriate.
You must register land or property if you have purchased, mortgaged, inherited, been gifted, or exchanged it. This is part of the conveyancing process.
If your property is unregistered because it was owned before compulsory registration in your area and there has been no disposition since, we can assist you in voluntary registration.
About 15% of land in England and Wales is unregistered. HM Land Registry aims to have all properties registered by 2030.
Registering your property publishes your ownership, legal title matters, price paid, and property boundaries. The record will include future ownership changes, overages, mortgages, easements, or leases.
Registration secures ownership of your property or land, protecting you against fraud, adverse possession (someone claiming rights over your property) and making it easier for you to sell or give away your title in the future.
Once your email is registered with HM Land Registry they can send you an email alert each time there is significant activity on the property you are monitoring, such as if a new mortgage has been taken out against the property.
Peace of mind for you and your loved ones – Registration prevents losing/misplacing your deeds to the property which can then result in you holding no evidence of who owns the property. This is also important if you have to sell a property on behalf of a relative who no longer has capacity or after a bereavement.
Digital access – All information is held electronically at HM Land Registry and is instantly downloadable once the registration has been completed.
Speed up the selling of your property – Registration makes the sale smoother and prevents the need for additional enquiries and delay.
Insure against future costs – If any deeds are missing from the title documents this can be highlighted immediately and an indemnity policy can be put in place, so when you come to sell the property the issue has been addressed.
We can help you secure ownership of your property or land – our experts can assist with first registrations and can also help those prove ownership where deeds have been lost and where voluntary registration is required.
We can also advise in relation to registered titles where land appears to be missing or otherwise incorrectly registered, which will allow you to perfect your title.
Whether you require assistance with your home, business premises, or a plot of land – our property experts can help you though the first registration process.
