FAQs

Do you offer legal services for mixed use properties?
Yes, we regularly act for clients involved with mixed use properties, such as those with commercial units on the ground floor and residential accommodation above. We can advise on all aspects, from purchase and sale to leasing, redevelopment, and resolving issues that may arise between commercial and residential occupiers.

Leases granted for more than seven years must be registered with HM Land Registry. Shorter leases (three years or less) typically do not require registration, but it’s important to seek legal advice to ensure compliance.

Absolutely. We can handle all necessary Companies House filings connected to your commercial property matters, such as registering charges, updating company details, and ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.
