Property Auction Transactions

Securing success at a property auction requires clarity and preparation. Our experienced legal team offers comprehensive support to both buyers and sellers, guiding you through every aspect of the process. With traditional auctions, you commit to immediate contracts, and we help ensure the terms are clear and manageable from the outset. For modern auctions, we assist with reviewing the auction pack, navigating reservation fees, and ensuring all necessary due diligence is completed within the set timeframe. From freehold to leasehold properties, Taunton Solicitors are here to provide expert advice at every step.

Commercial Property Costs

Understanding the costs associated with commercial property transactions shouldn’t feel overwhelming. We are happy to provide clear, detailed estimates tailored to your specific circumstances. Our business legal services include assistance with a variety of transactions, such as new leases or lease assignments and associated documents, such as rent deposit deeds. Time spent on your case is charged at an hourly rate, currently up to £350 plus vat. Whether acting for landlord or tenant, we ensure a seamless process from start to finish.

Commercial Property Mortgages & Guarantees

Not only do we act for borrowers and lenders on commercial mortgages and bridging finance, but Taunton Solicitors also offer independent legal advice to intending guarantors. Borrowing of this nature can involve complex and rigorous investigation and reporting, to meet the lender’s  exacting requirements, especially if the borrowing is to fund development.

Agricultural Land and Property

We understand the unique intricacies involved in agricultural transactions, from acquiring land or working farms to arranging sales at auction. Our expertise extends to the purchase, sale or transfer  of farmland, agricultural property leases, and grazing agreements. With experience of agricultural mortgages and the legal framework governing this essential sector, our conveyancing solicitors provide meticulous support at every stage. Count on our professional advice to simplify your transactions and safeguard the success of your agricultural endeavours.

Business Sales and Purchases

Selling or acquiring a business is a significant milestone that requires careful planning and execution. Our skilled solicitors offer comprehensive assistance in all aspects of asset sales and share sales, guiding you through every phase of the transaction. From drafting and reviewing the business sale agreement to addressing related property matters, whether freehold or leasehold, we ensure precision and clarity. We also provide support in business dispute resolution to safeguard your interests during and after the process. With one dedicated point of contact throughout, we focus on delivering efficient and reliable legal solutions tailored to your transaction.

Retail Transactions

Retail transactions can come with their own unique complexities, but our commercial law team is here to make the process straightforward and stress-free. We have experience in assisting clients with retail sales, purchases, and leases, offering detailed advice every step of the way. From negotiating lease terms to clarifying rights and obligations, we focus on securing agreements that align with your business goals. Our expertise covers critical aspects such as rental terms, maintenance charges, lease renewals, and terminations, ensuring all considerations are addressed with care.
