Commercial Solicitors

Commercial solicitors are specialists in their field. Whether you are buying or selling a business or commercial property, taking a new lease, renewing an existing lease or dealing with other commercial property matters, expert legal advice is essential. We can recommend commercial solicitors who are efficient, proactive and reasonably priced.

Asbestos Reports

Many commercial properties constructed before 2000 may contain asbestos-containing materials. An asbestos survey helps identify any risks, supports legal compliance and provides guidance on the safe management or removal of asbestos where required. We can arrange an appropriate survey through trusted specialists.

Commercial EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports)

An EICR assesses the safety and condition of a property's electrical installation and identifies any defects or remedial works that may be required. These reports are often requested by landlords, tenants, purchasers, lenders and insurers. We can arrange a commercial EICR through trusted electrical contractors.

Commercial Gas Safety Certificates

Where a commercial property contains gas appliances, pipework or installations, a Gas Safety Certificate can provide reassurance that the system has been inspected by a qualified engineer and is operating safely. We can arrange inspections and certification through trusted gas safety specialists.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documents may be required when selling or letting commercial property?

The documents required will depend on the property and transaction. Common requirements include EPCs, Fire Risk Assessments, Asbestos Reports, Commercial EICRs, Commercial Gas Safety Certificates, Schedules of Condition and AML compliance checks. We can advise what may be needed and help arrange the appropriate reports through our trusted network of suppliers.

Can Lansley Commercial arrange EPCs, Fire Risk Assessments and other reports for me?

Yes. We regularly assist clients by arranging EPCs, Fire Risk Assessments, Asbestos Reports, EICRs, Gas Safety Certificates and other supporting documentation through trusted third-party specialists.

Do you carry out these reports yourselves?

No. These reports are prepared by qualified independent specialists. We introduce trusted suppliers and coordinate the process on your behalf to help keep matters moving efficiently.

Do you charge for arranging compliance services?

We work with trusted specialist suppliers who regularly assist our clients with a wide range of commercial property compliance requirements. Where we arrange and coordinate these services on your behalf, an arrangement and administration fee may apply. Any such fee will always be clearly explained and agreed in advance.

Why might I need a Schedule of Condition?

A Schedule of Condition records the condition of a property at a specific point in time and can be particularly useful when entering into a lease, assigning a lease or purchasing a commercial property. It can help reduce future disputes regarding repair obligations and dilapidations.

What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A Fire Risk Assessment identifies potential fire hazards and provides recommendations to help ensure compliance with current fire safety legislation. Many commercial properties require an up-to-date assessment as part of ongoing compliance obligations.

What is an Asbestos Report and when is it required?

Many commercial properties built before 2000 may contain asbestos-containing materials. An asbestos survey helps identify any risks and may be required by occupiers, landlords, contractors, lenders or purchasers depending on the circumstances.

Can you recommend commercial solicitors and finance brokers?

Yes. We work with a network of trusted commercial solicitors, finance brokers and other property professionals who regularly assist our clients with commercial property and business transactions.

      I have to say that both Wayne and Jason have been a real pleasure to do business with.  This was the first time i had entered the world of Commercial Rental, and Lansley were with me every step of the way.  Commercial property is a complex area, and you really do need a team that is there to help, and find solutions to challenges along the way.  Even though the lease is now signed, Wayne is still there as a support, and has already assisted with a few teething problems.

Would i recommend them?  Yes, definitely.  They have enough experience to guide you with the right choices.  Looking forward to identifying the next retail unit in 2027 :)

    We have just completed on the sale of our cafe, and would recommend Lansley Commercial if you are keen on selling your business too. What impressed us with their service is their unaggressive approach. We spoke to Jason a few years ago, when we had the first thoughts of selling. From then onwards, he would occasionally check in, but it was never heavy handed.

They kept things realistic for us, and didn’t promise the earth or that it would be super easy. We appreciate their practical and realistic approach.

Wayne was more involved in the latter stages, and he was ever patient and detailed in helping move the process along.

Apart from the above reasons, one reason we chose Lansley Commercial s that they are a local broker and we would meet up for catch ups. It is nice to have face-to-face contact.  They are quick to respond to queries by phone or email.

If you are thinking of selling your business, we would recommend Lansley Commercial.

    I found Lansley to be accessible, responsive  and open in our indirect involvement in a business sale that eventually did not succeed.  I cannot fault our experience of Lansley - it's just a pity that for complex reasons the transaction was not completed.

    I would highly recommend Lansley Commercial. Being new to the world of leasing, it was a bit daunting and I had lots of questions. The agents, in particular Wayne, always answered my queries and followed up on issues for me making the whole process as painless as possible.

I highly recommend Jason and Wayne at Lansley Commercial. Throughout the sale of my property, I was consistently impressed by their professional approach and deep industry expertise. I truly trusted their advice and judgment at every stage of the process.

Jason and Wayne were both incredibly responsive to all my requests and, remarkably, even provided support and updates over the weekend. They were always one step ahead, and they even recommended a great lawyer and surveyor that I used, essentially setting up a whole team to work for me. It was a pleasure working with them, and the entire transaction was smooth and stress-free.
