Commercial Property FAQs

What is the difference between freehold and leasehold acquisitions?2025-08-12T17:31:23+01:00

Freehold gives you outright ownership of both land and property. Leasehold gives you the right to occupy and use the property for a defined term under a lease.

Can I buy or sell at auction with legal protection?2025-08-12T17:31:34+01:00

Yes, we can review auction packs, conduct pre-auction due diligence and manage all legal formalities post-auction to protect your position.

What is an overage clause?2025-08-12T17:31:46+01:00

An overage clause allows a seller to receive additional payment in the future if the value of the land increases due to events like planning permission.

Does a Deed of Variation need to be registered?2025-08-21T16:11:27+01:00

If the variation affects the term or rent of a registered lease, it may need to be noted at the Land Registry. We’ll handle this process on your behalf where required.

Will the variation affect my rights under the original lease?2025-08-21T16:11:01+01:00

Potentially, yes. That’s why it’s vital to seek legal advice. Some changes could affect statutory protections or tax status. We’ll help you understand the implications of any variation.

Do all lease changes need to be done by deed?2025-08-21T16:10:41+01:00

Yes, lease variations must generally be made by deed to be valid and enforceable. Informal agreements or side letters may not carry legal weight.
