The purchase or sale of commercial property involves a distinct set of legal, financial, and regulatory challenges.
At Lumine Solicitors, we provide experienced, business-focused expert support to landlords, investors,
developers, and commercial tenants across London and the UK.

Importance of Early Instruction

Our team advises that clients instruct a solicitor as early as possible, ideally before terms are finalised.

For sellers, this allows us to begin reviewing your legal title, prepare the necessary contract documentation, and
address potential compliance issues in advance. We also help collate essential supporting documents so that
enquiries can be answered without delay.

For buyers, early instruction enables us to review or draft Heads of Terms, advise on VAT and Stamp Duty
Land Tax implications, and carry out due diligence on the legal title. Where occupational leases are involved,
we ensure all documentation is compliant and aligned with your commercial objectives.

How Long Will It Take?

Commercial property transactions can vary in length depending on the complexity of the deal, the size of the
chain, and the speed at which parties provide required information. Typically, deals take anywhere from 8 to 12
weeks, but larger or more complicated transactions may take longer.

Early preparation and prompt communication help keep things moving smoothly. By working closely with your
solicitor, commercial agents, and lenders, and by providing documents promptly you can help keep the process
on track.

Clear Guidance Throughout

Our role at Lumine Solicitors is to manage the commercial property process so that you don’t have to. We
explain every stage clearly, ensure all documents are prepared correctly, and communicate proactively with
agents, lenders, and solicitors on the other side. We aim to remove uncertainty and provide you with the
confidence to move forward knowing your business interests are protected.
