Information on commercial conveyancing
Jobling & Knape are recommended in the UK Legal 500 for commercial property.
As a prudent business person, you may want to call on our wealth of business experience which covers all aspects of your commercial property (commercial conveyancing) dealings.
Have you considered the following:
Business or Company?
Should you sell/buy your business as a business or as shares in a company?
Company or Partnership?
What is the difference between a Company and a Partnership? See our Company and Partnership page for more information.
VAT
Should you charge/pay VAT?
Environmental Protection
What impact will the Environmental Protection Legislation have on you? If your site is contaminated, who pays? How do you find out if it is contaminated?
Employees
Do you have to take on the workforce of the business you are buying?
Stamp Duty
With Stamp Duty Land Tax at 4% on property transactions over £500K, are there ways of paying less?
Planning
Is the planning history of your target property in order?
Warranties
Should you be insisting on warranties from your seller? Alternatively is it reasonable for your buyer to expect warranties from you? If you have to give warranties, how can you limit their impact?
Speculating
You may want to speculate on a particular transaction - until you know the outcome how should you protect the value of the work you put in? Should you go for a Conditional Contract, a lock-out Agreement, an Option, etc?
Confidentiality
Someone is interested in buying your enterprise. Are you safe to let your buyer know your business? Do you need a confidentiality agreement?
Finance
Do you need help setting up the finance? Ask us. We have access for you to receive free independent financial advice. Does your buyer want you to leave money owing? Are you safe to do so? How can it be secured? Are there any Consumer Credit implications?
These are just a few of the points you may need to consider. Doubtless you will think of more of your own. Whatever the problem, why not ask us!
