Commercial Property

AK Law specialises in Commercial Property and can support you with Acquisitions and Disposals, Landlord and Tenant matters, Lettings, and Real Estate Management. For more details on our areas of expertise, please see below and feel free to contact us if you'd like to learn more about our services. Acquisitions and Disposals At AK Law, we have extensive experience in the acquisition and disposal of freehold and leasehold properties. Our work covers both individual properties and larger portfolios, whether sold with vacant possession or subject to occupational leases. We act for a wide range of clients, including investors, developers, and businesses, providing clear, practical advice at every stage of the transaction. Our solicitor-led approach ensures each matter is handled with expertise and attention to detail, helping clients navigate legal complexities and achieve their commercial objectives efficiently and with confidence. Landlord and Tenant Management As a landlord, you may receive various requests from tenants such as assigning their lease, carrying out works, renewing or extending leases, or making changes to existing terms. These decisions carry legal implications and may impact your asset’s value. As a tenant, restrictions in your lease can affect how you occupy or trade from the property, and influence your ability to dispose of or renew the lease. Whether you’re a landlord or tenant, AK Law has the experience to advise and guide you through the many legal and practical issues that may arise. Lettings If you're an investor looking to let your property for income, the lease you grant, or inherit when acquiring the asset can significantly impact both the property's overall value and its future rental income. Careful structuring is essential to protect your investment. If you're a tenant taking on a new or existing lease, it’s important to ensure the terms support your ability to occupy and trade from the property in line with your business needs. Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, AK Law has the expertise to help you achieve your objectives. Real Estate Finance AK Law has extensive experience advising on the legal aspects of raising finance or refinancing commercial property. We understand the specific requirements of lenders, including the form of security they require, and ensure all legal documentation is prepared and reviewed thoroughly. Timing is often critical in these transactions, and our team is well-equipped to work efficiently within tight deadlines. Whether you are securing initial funding or refinancing an existing loan, we offer clear, practical guidance throughout the process to help ensure a smooth and successful outcome.
