Local knowledge
Commercial property in Northumberland
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Rural and estate units
Converted farm buildings and estate-owned units are common. We check access, services, planning use and any restrictions from the estate.
Industrial and manufacturing space
Industrial units can carry full repairing obligations and environmental risk. We recommend a schedule of condition and review contamination and mining searches.
Market town premises
Shops and offices in historic market towns are often in listed buildings or conservation areas. We check consents for alterations and signage.

Commercial property in Northumberland
Yes. Our office is in Newcastle and we act remotely by phone, email and video call for clients across England and Wales, Northumberland included. We order searches from Northumberland County Council, negotiate with the landlord’s solicitors and arrange electronic signing where possible, so you don’t need to come to us.
Check that planning permission covers your use and that access, parking and services are properly granted in the lease. Rural units can rely on private drainage or shared supplies. We review these points, check any rules set by the landowner or estate, and make sure the repair obligations suit an older building.
