Commercial Conveyancing FAQ

What costs will I need to budget for besides legal fees?

In addition to legal fees, you should factor in other common expenses such as:

  • Commercial agent’s fees (if you’ve appointed one to source or negotiate the purchase)
  • Lender’s valuation and arrangement fees, as well as the lender’s legal fees (if finance is required)
  • Surveyor’s fees
  • Search fees
  • Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
  • Land Registry and Companies House registration fees

At Rowlinsons, we’ll always provide a tailored quote at the outset, outlining our legal fees and an estimate of associated costs so you can plan your finances with confidence.

Do I need to pay Stamp Duty when buying commercial property?

Yes, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) usually applies to commercial property transactions in England and Northern Ireland where the purchase price exceeds £150,000. Rates vary depending on the value and structure of the transaction. For property in Scotland or Wales, different land taxes apply. If you're unsure about your obligations, we can advise you on how much SDLT is payable and manage the submission for you.

What types of commercial property sales and purchases do you advise on?

Our team of commercial conveyancing solicitors in Cheshire has extensive experience handling the sale and purchase of a wide range of commercial property types, including:

  • Offices and retail units
  • Industrial and storage facilities
  • Agricultural and development land
  • Mixed-use buildings
  • Leisure premises such as pubs, restaurants, hotels, gyms and cafes
  • New builds and bespoke commercial developments

We understand the specific risks, regulations and commercial drivers associated with each type of property, and our legal advice is always tailored to your business goals.

Do I need a survey when buying commercial property?

Yes, a survey is highly recommended when purchasing commercial premises. It helps identify any structural defects, legal complications, or environmental issues that could affect the property's value or suitability for your intended use. A detailed survey ensures you’re making an informed investment and can prevent unexpected costs or compliance issues further down the line.

Can you act for both me and my lender for a commercial purchase?

Yes, in most cases we are able to act for both you and your commercial lender, provided there is no conflict of interest. This can save time and reduce duplication of work during the transaction. We will advise you early on if a separate solicitor is required for your lender.

Our Fixed Fee Commercial Conveyancing Promise

At Rowlinsons, we understand that clarity around legal fees is essential for businesses making important property decisions. That’s why we offer a Fixed Fee Commercial Conveyancing Promise, so you know exactly where you stand from day one. No hourly billing surprises, no hidden extras, just a clear, upfront cost tailored to the needs of your transaction.

Our fixed fee covers all the core legal work involved in your commercial property sale or acquisition, including taking your initial instructions, preparing or reviewing contracts and supporting title documents, managing due diligence such as searches (where required), raising and responding to enquiries, liaising with your lender and reviewing finance documents, drafting and negotiating the transfer deed or lease, arranging for exchange and completion, and handling post-completion matters such as Land Registry applications and any Stamp Duty Land Tax filings. We’ll provide you with a personalised quote that details what’s included, along with a transparent breakdown of disbursements, so you can budget with confidence and focus on what matters, your business.
