Local knowledge
Commercial property in Sheffield
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Former industrial sites
Many units in the Don Valley sit on land with a long industrial history. We check environmental searches for contamination and make sure the lease does not leave you liable for historic pollution.
Older industrial buildings
Older workshops and works can have worn roofs and services. We advise on limiting your repair liability, often with a schedule of condition.
Retail park use clauses
Out-of-town retail around Meadowhall often has tight use clauses and estate charges. We check that your use is permitted and the costs are clear before you sign.

Commercial property in Sheffield
Yes. Commercial lease work happens on documents and email. We negotiate the lease with the landlord’s solicitors, carry out searches and enquiries, and complete electronically. Our location makes no difference to the process, and you can speak to us by phone or video call whenever you need to.
Check the repair clause and the condition of the roof and structure, as many units are older. Look at estate charges, access for vehicles and any restrictions on working hours. Ask what the environmental search says about past uses. We review all of this and explain the risks before you commit.
