Legal help: property solicitors
An experienced legal professional is a core part of your office moving team
Moving properties, whether home or business, requires a considerable amount of legal work to carry out the necessary paperwork and to negotiate agreements. Your property solicitor will be a lifeline during your office move as they will be able to explain the legalities of your exchange.
When you choose a property solicitor to be part of your moving office team look for a firm that is well-versed in commercial property law and find a company that is keen to keep on top of new legislation in the field that could affect the corporate property sector. When you take on a property solicitor, they will help you in initiating your property search as well as explaining the lease terms for your prospective offices. This way you can be fully informed about your options before you sign on the dotted line. Your property expert will be able to explain any small print, clarify any confusing legal terms and help to negotiate leasing terms that are in your favour.
Perhaps the most important part of their job is to help you to identify the conditions of your contract should you choose to break your leasing terms before the contract is up. Landlords often have “Heads of Terms” agreed before the solicitor has briefed the tenant, so it is worth having an experienced property solicitor to look through these for you. Fundamentally, the property solicitor will be notifying you of any areas which are unfairly weighted towards the landlord and will be able to redress the situation to restore fairness in your favour.
