Local knowledge
Commercial property in Manchester
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Grade A office service charges
Newer office buildings often carry high service charges for shared facilities. We check what can be recovered, any caps and how costs are reported.
Converted mills and warehouses
Many offices and studios are in listed or older converted buildings. We check repairing obligations and consents, and suggest a schedule of condition where needed.
Flexible and serviced space
Many Manchester businesses start in flexible or serviced offices before taking a lease. We check whether the agreement gives you the security, break rights and costs you expect.

Commercial property in Manchester
Yes. Commercial lease work is done on documents and by email. We negotiate heads of terms and the lease with the landlord’s solicitors, review title and searches, and complete electronically. Location makes no difference to the legal process, and you can reach us by phone or video call.
Check who repairs the roof and structure, how the service charge is split, and whether your use is allowed. Listed buildings need consent for some changes, including fit-out work. We review the lease and title, and explain how to limit your repair liability before you sign.
