COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND BUSINESS LAW SERVICES
Commercial Property and Business Law Services
Whether you’re buying your first commercial premises, leasing an office space, or starting a business, having the right legal support can make all the difference. At Pomphreys, our commercial team works closely with business owners, landlords, tenants, and investors across Wishaw and beyond to deliver practical, results-focused advice.
We understand that in business, timing is critical — so we focus on getting things done efficiently, without sacrificing attention to detail. Whether it’s negotiating contracts, managing risk, or supporting long-term business goals, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
COMMERCIAL SALE
Selling a commercial property involves more than just marketing — it requires careful legal preparation. We’ll help you prepare the title deeds, respond to queries, and ensure that any legal documentation is complete and accurate.
We work proactively to avoid last-minute delays, dealing with planning or occupancy issues early in the process. Whether you’re selling as part of a business move or an exit strategy, we aim to deliver a smooth transaction and a clean break.
COMMERCIAL PURCHASE
Buying commercial property is a significant investment. Our team will guide you through the entire transaction – from initial offer through to due diligence, title checks, and registration of ownership. We’ll liaise with your lender, flag any issues early, and keep you updated throughout the process.
We’ll also provide advice on matters such as planning consents, rates, and leaseback arrangements if relevant. With Pomphreys, you’ll receive clear, commercial advice to help you complete your purchase efficiently — and with peace of mind.
COMMERCIAL RE-FINANCING
Re-financing a commercial property or business loan can be a smart move — but it needs to be handled with precision. We’ll liaise with your lender, review loan conditions, and ensure all necessary documentation is in place to meet your refinancing goals.
We can also advise on how refinancing impacts existing securities, guarantees, and business structures. Our team will guide you through the process efficiently and ensure everything is properly registered with the relevant bodies, including the Land Register or Companies House if required.
COMMERCIAL LEASING
Whether you’re a landlord or tenant, commercial leases need careful drafting and negotiation. We prepare and review lease agreements that clearly set out rights and responsibilities — helping to avoid disputes and misunderstandings down the line.
We also advise on lease renewals, rent reviews, dilapidations, and exit clauses. With Pomphreys, you’ll receive commercially minded legal advice that balances risk and protects your long-term interests.
HOTELS AND LICENSED PREMISES
Licensed premises — including pubs, hotels, restaurants, and takeaways — involve a specific set of legal and regulatory challenges. We assist with buying, selling, leasing, or transferring licensed properties, and can guide you through licensing applications and renewals.
From securing the right consents to advising on alcohol licensing, late opening, and planning, we work closely with business owners in the hospitality sector to help ensure compliance and smooth operation. If you’re acquiring or disposing of a licensed business, our local knowledge and sector experience are invaluable.
PARTNERSHIPS AND COMPANY FORMATION
Starting a business or entering a partnership involves important legal decisions. At Pomphreys, we help clients choose the right business structure — whether that’s a sole trader, partnership, or limited company — and handle the formalities of formation and registration.
We also draft partnership agreements, shareholder agreements, and company constitutions to ensure your business starts with a clear and strong foundation. If you’re expanding or restructuring, we can assist with governance, succession planning, and regulatory compliance too.
