Local knowledge
Commercial property in Bristol
What we look out for on leases in the area.
City centre offices
Office leases often include service charges for shared building costs and, increasingly, energy performance requirements. We check the service charge, break clauses and how energy efficiency rules might affect future works.
Food, drink and leisure
Restaurants and bars around the harbourside and city centre often need premises licences and may face rules on opening hours, noise and extraction. We review the lease and planning position so your plans for the unit are allowed.
Logistics at Avonmouth
Large warehouses can come with complex service charges, yard rights and environmental issues. Some low-lying sites can also face flood risk. We review the lease and searches carefully and explain your liabilities.

Commercial property in Bristol
Yes. Commercial leases are negotiated by email and phone, and documents can be signed electronically. The law is the same across England and Wales. We deal with your Bristol agent and the landlord’s solicitor, and keep you updated from heads of terms through to completion.
Check that the permitted use covers your business and that the premises licence suits your opening hours. Look at who pays for extraction, outside seating and service charges. Some sites near the water may also have flood risk to consider. We review these points and negotiate changes before you sign.
