Commercial Property Legal Services - Value for money without compromising on quality!

http://www.simpsonmillar.co.uk/services/property/commercial-property-solicito... - My name is Deborah Powell and I head the firms commercial property team here at Simpson Millar.

At Simpson Millar we pride ourselves on our commercial hands on approach to commercial property work. We aim to provide clear commercial advice at competitive rates with transactions been delivered on time and within budget. We realise that often in commercial property transactions the underlying objective can get lost along the way and unless the transaction is pro-actively managed it can get over complicated, lengthy with resulting increases in both budget and timescales. We are committed to cutting through this process by providing focused cost effective advice with close Partner involvement at all times.

Our specialist team of lawyers can deal with a wide of areas including; acquisition and development work, commercial leases, housing associations, licensed premises, pension funds, preparing environmental issues, property finance and construction advice.

I have acted for landlords and Ive acted for tenants on all sorts of leasehold property matters for a long time and Ive got 20 years worth of experience for acting for all sorts of clients, big Plcs right down to Mrs Jones taking a lease of a butchers shops and I have acted on both sides of transactions so I know the issues from both sides really.

The main things we are trying to sell at Simpson Millar is the fact that you dont have to pay through the nose to get good quality legal advice and quite often at the bigger firms you can end up paying an awful lot of money for a junior lawyer to give you not very commercial advice whereas if you come to a smaller firm, the overheads are less, you get charged less but you also get good quality commercial advice from a Partner with 20 years worth of experience.

Things that are key at the moment in this market are advising on purchase contracts eg can you get out of them, can you stop someone getting out of them, looking at leases to see whether or not you are been overcharged on service charge, also looking at property portfolios generally to make sure that properties that you have got rid of that have been leasehold that there are no nasty skeletons hiding in the closet, because basically once you have a leasehold property if you get rid of it, even if you assign it across or even underlet it they have a nasty habit of coming back to you in the future and a lot of people dont realise that they thought they had got rid of that problem but in fact the lease is still existing, the tenant has gone bust and the landlord is now coming back to you to ask you to pay the rent so we can look at your portfolio and work out how many of those properties you have got in your portfolio and assess what the risk of those properties coming back to haunt you is.

We also advise on claw back provisions in those contracts, onerous conditions and planning conditions.

We have acted for an awful lot of clients, different clients and different needs and we have a lot of skill in advising those clients.
