Commercial & Mixed-Use

Legal expertise with commercial acumen…

We understand that commercial tenants are valuable and that significant sums can be involved. Our tailored approach ensures that any future landlord/tenant relationship is preserved.

With increasing mixed-use developments and commercial properties alongside residential, client portfolios have changed. Our commercial team provide the expertise, experience and results our clients expect. We’re already recognised as the market leader in residential service charge and rent recovery, but all of the services we provide for residential are available for your commercial property portfolio too.

Our thorough knowledge of landlord and tenant law is also especially effective when dealing with commercial lessees who are far more likely to use more specialist legal and financial service providers.
