Commercial property solicitors in Richmond upon Thames
Richmond’s commercial market is centred on its town and village high streets rather than large office districts. Richmond and Twickenham town centres have shops, restaurants and smaller office buildings, while places like Teddington, Barnes and East Sheen have busy local parades.

Local knowledge
Commercial property in Richmond upon Thames
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Small office suites
Many offices here are suites in converted period buildings with shared entrances and services. We check the service charge, access rights and repair split so you only pay your fair share.
Listed and conservation premises
Shopfronts and signage in conservation areas may need consent. We confirm what’s needed and make sure the lease doesn’t leave you responsible for problems you didn’t cause.
Hospitality on the river
Riverside pubs, cafés and restaurants can face flood risk and seasonal trade. We look at insurance, repair obligations and break options with this in mind.

Commercial property in Richmond upon Thames
Yes. Commercial lease work happens on documents, so we can act fully by phone, email and video call. We order searches from Richmond Council, negotiate with the landlord’s solicitors and arrange electronic signing where possible. You don’t need to meet us in person at any stage.
Changes to the shopfront, signs and sometimes the interior may need planning or listed building consent as well as your landlord’s approval. We check the lease rules on alterations and signage, confirm which consents you’re likely to need, and make sure the timetable allows for them before you commit.
