Labrums provided legal counsel for a property matter. The service I received was thorough and clear. The letter Labrums drafted to clarify the issue was a thing of beauty. I have no hesitation in working with Labrums again.
Commercial Property Legal Advice and Services
At Labrums, our team of commercial property solicitors have over 25 years of experience dealing with all aspects of commercial property, including:
Buying and selling freeholds
If your business is in a position to buy a property, this will be a huge undertaking but one that will bring many benefits, including more control over your monthly outgoings and greater flexibility to adapt and expand your premises in line with changes in your operations.
Once you have found the right property for your company, our commercial conveyancing solicitors can make sure legal ownership is transferred to you quickly and smoothly. From legal searches and surveys to contract of sale and completion, our commercial property lawyers will expertly manage every aspect of the transaction, keeping you consulted and informed throughout.
Preparing commercial leases
Entering into a commercial lease is a significant commitment so it is highly beneficial to have specialist legal advice when negotiating the terms. Both the landlord and tenant will wish to protect their own interests when it comes to key issues – including break clauses, rent and rent reviews, sub-letting and repairs – which can sometimes prolong the negotiation process.
We understand your business needs quick results but more importantly the right result, so our solicitors will work efficiently to protect your commercial objectives. Our commercial property lease lawyers in St Albans have advanced negotiation and drafting skills, which help our clients secure the best possible terms now, and for the future.
Licence agreements
Licenced properties are suitable if you are looking for a cost-effective and short-term occupation of a business premises. If you have decided to move into a licenced property, the licence agreement between you and the landlord will set out the rights and responsibilities of both parties. It is important to consider the terms of the licence agreement carefully to make sure you do not agree to any unacceptable obligations or restrictions.
Our commercial property solicitors are experts in licence agreements and can help you review the contract and advise on the implications for your business. Where we believe your interests could be better served, we will negotiate the most favourable terms on your behalf.
Commercial property mortgages
We can help your business secure the right finance for its new premises. As part of our comprehensive commercial property legal services, we will advise you on your funding options, work with your lender – carrying out the searches it requires – and register details of your mortgage with the Land Registry.
Pension schemes

We have expertise in SIPP and SSAS pension scheme property investments and can ensure that your transaction is compliant with the regulations that apply.
