Commercial Property
Service overview: Commercial property solicitors
- Commercial property is complex and will nearly always require legal advice to avoid disputes later arising.
- Our property solicitors can help with the sale and purchase of commercial property with a full commercial conveyancing service, including investigating ownership and title to the property, carrying out searches and raising enquiries to assess the suitability of a property for your intended use.
- For commercial leases, we can help both commercial landlords and commercial tenants on a range of issues including negotiating lease agreements, assigning/transferring a lease, subletting, surrendering, lease renewal, and changing the use of the premises.
- Having your commercial lease agreement checked by a solicitor can prevent later disputes but should the unavoidable happen we can also help with commercial property dispute resolution.
- Our commercial property solicitors operate nationally and work remotely, but we have offices in Sheffield, Birmingham, Cambridge and London.

Harper James Solicitors provides excellent value for money and helps to cover gaps in specialist areas of legal practice. Using an outside legal provider enables us, as a business, to better manage our internal resources, the volume of work we have and to deal with our level of overall risk. I would undoubtedly recommend them to others.
Robert Cowling
General Counsel,

10/10, very happy with the service and the relationship … comments from Sam are presented in a way that is easy to understand – rather than being blinded by legal jargon! Very approachable, pragmatic and efficient, especially as we had to do substantial chasing on the recent legal engagement
Karen Page
Office Manager,
DenseAir
I really value Sam’s pragmatic approach to getting things done but also the lack of ‘dryness’ when getting information across to help me make decisions. I’m completely happy with the service and have already recommended Harper James to others!
