Commercial property solicitors in Wiltshire
Commercial property in Wiltshire is spread across its market towns rather than one big centre. Salisbury is the main retail and office location in the south, while Chippenham, Trowbridge and Melksham have industrial and business parks near the M4 and A350. Defence, science and engineering are important employers.

Local knowledge
Commercial property in Wiltshire
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Listed shop premises
Many high street units in Salisbury, Marlborough and Devizes are in listed buildings. We check who is responsible for structural repairs and whether shopfront or signage changes need consent.
Science and technology space
Laboratory and specialist space can have unusual fit-out, plant and reinstatement terms. We review what you must remove at the end of the lease and agree a clear position on alterations at the start.
Industrial units
Older units on established estates may need repair, so a full repairing lease can carry real cost. We suggest a schedule of condition and check the service charge and use clauses.

Commercial property in Wiltshire
Yes. Commercial property law is the same across England and Wales, and leases are negotiated by email and phone. We work with your agent and the landlord’s solicitor, and documents are usually signed electronically. You get one point of contact who keeps you updated from heads of terms to completion.
If the building is listed, you will usually need listed building consent for changes that affect its character, inside or out. That can include shopfronts, signage and some internal works. The landlord’s consent is needed too. We check the listing and the lease so you know what approvals to get first.
