Freehold Purchase
Purchasing a Commercial Property is an important step in the growth or expansion of your business, or may be your business if you are an investor or developer. You want to make sure it is done properly, but also quickly and cost-effectively. I have acted on the purchase of Commercial Property of all sizes for over 14 years. I’ve acted for owner occupiers looking to purchase new premises, investors looking to buy a good investment and place a good tenant (see my Lease pages here for more information on that) and developers purchasing a green or brown field site for development. Industrial units, shops, factories, offices – I’ve assisted Buyers with them all. I can help you to purchase the property you need on time, and budget, and with the minimum of fuss.
“John’s commitment and attention to detail on the purchase of this project was exceptional. His knowledge and communication during the transaction left us feeling totally reassured“
James Austin, Director of Ackleton Estates Limited
You may not have reached the stage of having a retained solicitor at present, or you may do, but are unhappy with increasing costs or dipping service levels. Do you find you instruct a partner at your solicitor’s firm, pay for the partner’s time, but actually find that the work is being carried out by an inexperienced legal assistant? Do you wish that you could call your solicitor directly, but find that you are only ever given the number for reception and can never get through? Do you wish that your solicitor was more pro-active – identifying issues up front, rather than waiting until the last moment, meaning that your purchase and fit out is delayed whilst you wait for something to be resolved?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, then you will be pleased to hear that there is a better way. I am a consultant solicitor and Partner with Nexa Law. All work is carried out through Nexa Law, who are authorised and regulated by the SRA. However, unlike a traditional law firm, you will not find yourself dealing with the least qualified person who can handle your case as soon as possible. Instead, if you instruct me, you will find that your transaction is handled by me. As an experienced solicitor who has worked for 11 years at international law firm Eversheds and 5 years at regional law firm Thursfields, I have the breadth and depth of experience to be able to deal handle any Commercial Property purchase, from the most straightforward to the most complex. You will have my direct contact details and my direct dial, which means you will be able to speak with the solicitor handling your case, rather than support staff who cannot answer your questions. As a technically excellent solicitor, issues will be identified early, allowing them to be resolved in good time for completion.
Examples of my experience include:
- Acting for an aluminium processing company in Bridgnorth on the purchase of additional land to expand their existing factory site.
- Acting for a property developer on the acquisition of a brownfield site for development into a petrol station, and then dealing with all the follow through work – cleaning up the title, financing and re-financing, agreement for lease and lease with the tenant and ongoing management issues.
- Acting for a marketing company on the acquisition of bigger office premises to accommodate their growing staff and business.

Following our initial conversation, I will scope out the work that you have requested me to do and provide you with a realistic and competitive fee estimate. Don’t worry about calling in the first instance though – that will always be free, as I need to find about your business or your query before quoting, and don’t charge for any initial discussion.
