Buying and Selling a Shop Lawyers Glasgow Southside
Buying shop premises offers business owners greater freedom and flexibility but you must give serious consideration to the financial and legal aspects of your purchase. Identifying a property that is the right size and type for your business needs is vital, which is where the expertise of Claphams commercial conveyancing solicitors can be extremely beneficial. We have specialist local knowledge when it comes to buying shops in Glasgow Southside, Giffnock, Clarkston, Newton Mearns and Netherlee.
From the earliest stage, we talk you through any questions or concerns you may have about investing in new premises. This will help you determine if buying a shop is the right step for your business before you begin investing your time and money in doing so. Our qualified commercial property lawyers will explain to you the costs, timescales and risks that come with your transaction to make sure you are completely satisfied before proceeding.
Property Investigations
Once you have identified a shop that meets your requirements, we will carry out extensive investigations on your behalf to identify any potential issues before you commit to buying. This includes:
- Reviewing the property’s title documents
- Carrying out local authority searches
- Commercial property standard enquiries
- Checking for any planning or other legal issues
- Checking what fixtures and fittings are included in the sale
- Utilities information
- Environmental searches
We will then provide you with a Report on Title, addressing any potential problems and give you carefully thought-out legal solutions to any issues.
Contract Negotiations
Whether you are buying or selling a shop, our commercial property lawyers can negotiate contract terms on your behalf to ensure you receive good value. These negotiations will cover:
- The purchase price
- The deposit amount
- Defects – who is responsible for correcting any identified defects and how this will affect the purchase price
- Planning permission – a contract may be conditional on the granting of planning permission
- Completion date – an agreement must be made concerning when payment will take place, when the buyer will acquire the property and when they can move in
