Buying commercial property is a major decision, whether you are acquiring premises for your own business or investing in an income-generating asset.

In our latest article, we explain how commercial property acquisition works, covering the key stages from identifying the right property and agreeing heads of terms through to due diligence, exchange, completion and post-completion steps.

We also look at important considerations such as freehold and leasehold structures, planning and use, VAT, SDLT, title issues, lease obligations and financing risks.

If you are looking to buy commercial property, understanding the process before you commit can help you approach the transaction with greater clarity and confidence.

We’re pleased to share that we recently supported a client through the successful completion of an SME corporate acquisition involving a complex financing structure.

The transaction required careful coordination between the client, bank and legal teams, with significant third-party involvement and tight timelines throughout. The funding structure was unusual, with a loan via the target company to fund the purchase, which added further complexity and required detailed management as the deal progressed.

Our role involved keeping communication clear, managing expectations and taking a proactive approach to drafting and negotiation to ensure the SPA and key protections remained robust despite the constraints.

The deal completed successfully, delivering the outcome the client was seeking. A big well done to Nisha Kaur, who led the matter 👏

Heads of Terms can make a big difference in commercial property sales.

Before the formal contract is drafted, they set out the key points agreed between the buyer and seller, including price, timelines, conditions and responsibilities. This gives everyone a clearer roadmap for the transaction and helps reduce the risk of misunderstandings later on.

While Heads of Terms are usually non-binding, they keep negotiations focused and make the legal process much smoother.

If you are preparing for a commercial property sale and would like support with Heads of Terms, our team would be pleased to help.

When a product or service falls short of what was promised, the next step is not always obvious.

In our recent article, we look at breach of warranty remedies under English law, including when damages, repair, replacement, refunds or indemnities may apply.

The article also covers the practical steps involved in bringing a claim, such as identifying the breach, notifying the seller, preserving evidence, and checking any contractual deadlines, liability caps or exclusions.

Whether you are dealing with a warranty issue now or want a clearer view of how these claims work in practice, the article breaks it down in a straightforward way.

Heads of Terms are meant to bring clarity to a commercial property transaction, but if they are drafted poorly, they can do the opposite.

We've looked at some of the most common mistakes, from vague wording and missing details to overcomplicating the document or failing to make clear which terms are binding.

Getting the key points right at this stage can help reduce misunderstandings and keep the transaction moving in the right direction.

If you would like advice on Heads of Terms for a commercial property sale or purchase, the Rubric team are here to help.
