Local knowledge
Commercial property in Birmingham
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Grade A office service charges
Newer office buildings in the city centre often carry high service charges for shared facilities. We check what is recoverable, any caps and how the landlord accounts for costs.
Converted workshops and listed buildings
Many premises in the Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth are converted workshops or listed buildings. We check repairing obligations and consents, and suggest a schedule of condition where needed.
Industrial units near the M6
Industrial estates in east and north Birmingham often have estate service charges and shared access roads. We review these rights and costs before you take the unit.

Commercial property in Birmingham
Yes. Commercial property work is document-based. We negotiate heads of terms and the lease with the landlord’s solicitors by email and phone, carry out searches and due diligence, and complete electronically. Where you are in England and Wales makes no difference to the legal process.
Many units are in older buildings, so the repair clause matters. Check whether you are liable for the roof and structure, and whether your planned use and any late opening are allowed. Alterations may need landlord consent and, in listed buildings, listed building consent. We review these points before you sign.
