Commercial Agency

Commercial Property Acquisition

Helping you make smart property decisions

We provide commercial property acquisition advice to a range of private individuals, institutions, and local authorities, whether for occupation or investment purposes.

With our extensive market knowledge, Hellier Langston is ideally positioned to help source suitable premises and negotiate the best possible terms for investors, occupiers and developers.

For many businesses and individuals, acquiring commercial property is a significant investment and often a crucial first step in their growth plans.

Key factors to consider:

  • The size of the property
  • Whether it is leasehold or freehold
  • The location and available on-site facilities
  • Required searches and surveys
  • Additional costs, such as taxes and legal fees
  • Finance options

Our Acquisition Service

Understanding your requirements

We start by discussing your needs in detail, including location, size, specification, and overall cost. We then identify potential opportunities on and off market by approaching agents, landlords, and occupiers, and provide a schedule with costs such as rent, rates, and service charges. Each option is reviewed with you, considering suitability, lease terms, property condition, market conditions, and other factors like business rates.

Identifying and evaluating opportunities

Once your requirements are clear, we actively search for suitable properties, both on and off market. We compile a detailed schedule of options with costs such as rent, rates, and service charges where relevant, and evaluate each opportunity with you, focusing on operational suitability, lease terms, property condition (including surveys if required), market conditions, and other considerations such as business rates.

Negotiation and Completion

Once an opportunity has been identified, we would be the main point of contact, opening and carrying out negotiations on your behalf.

At this point, further specialist advice may be required, such as the services of a building surveyor. Once negotiations have been concluded, we would look to agree Heads of Terms with the landlord or their agents.

Upon agreement of Heads of Terms, we would continue to liaise with your solicitors and the landlords until exchange/completion.

Hellier Langston is a multi-disciplinary practice, and our teams who deal with commercial agency, valuation, building surveying, and property management are able to work closely to advise on all aspects of the acquisition process from start to finish.
