Local knowledge
Commercial property in Southwark
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Offices near London Bridge
Offices in multi-let buildings come with service charges and complex repair terms. We review these, push for caps and make sure break clauses work in practice.
Railway arch units
Arches are common for food, drink and workshop businesses. We check repair terms, access rights for railway works and restrictions on alterations.
Units in regeneration areas
New units at Elephant and Castle and Canada Water often come with agreements for lease and estate charges. We review the fit-out terms and overall costs.

Commercial property in Southwark
Yes. Commercial lease work is done on documents, so we act fully remotely by phone, email and video call. We order searches from Southwark Council, negotiate with the landlord’s solicitors and arrange electronic signing where possible. Our location doesn’t affect the quality or speed of the work.
Check the lease allows food and drink use and any late opening you need. Also check planning conditions on extraction and hours, and whether you’ll need a premises licence. We review all of this, check the repair and service charge terms, and negotiate changes before you commit.
