What is property law?
Property law is a branch of civil law that deals with the legal rights and responsibilities of individuals and entities in relation to commercial or residential properties, such as land, buildings, and leases. It governs the ownership, transfer, use, and protection of property, as well as the resolution of disputes related to property rights.

Frequently asked questions: Property and Land
What legal checks should be done before purchasing a commercial property?
Legal due diligence before purchasing a commercial property includes verifying title ownership, identifying restrictions such as easements or covenants, checking planning permissions, assessing lease terms if tenanted, and reviewing any environmental or contamination risks.
How long does a commercial property transaction typically take?
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the deal, but a standard commercial property transaction in London typically takes between 6 to 12 weeks from offer acceptance to completion.
What are the main differences between freehold and leasehold properties?
With a freehold property, you own the building and the land it stands on outright. Leasehold means you have the right to occupy and use the property for a specified period under a lease agreement, but the ownership of the land remains with the freeholder.
Can you help with renewing or terminating a commercial lease?
Yes, we advise both landlords and tenants on lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, lease termination procedures, and negotiating revised terms that reflect the current market conditions.
What are typical risks in property development contracts?
Risks include planning permission delays, overage clauses, construction disputes, misrepresentation of title or boundaries, and unrealistic completion timetables. Our solicitors help mitigate these through robust contract drafting and early-stage legal advice.
How do you buy land that isn’t on land?
Real estate comes in all shapes and sizes, but the pier-shaped kind must be among the trickiest to deal with.
It didn’t help that the pier our client had set his heart on was a bit of a wreck, slowly slipping into the sea. But he had a vision: a stunning new seafood restaurant, and our lawyers were there to help.
