Commercial and agricultural property transactions are often complex, involving substantial sums of money and long-term commitments. At Howard & Co., we provide clear, practical advice to ensure your business property purchase, sale, or lease is completed smoothly, with your interests protected at every stage.
Purchasing or selling business premises requires careful due diligence. We will handle the legal checks, draft and review contracts, liaise with lenders, and ensure that all property rights, leases and obligations are properly transferred. Whether you are acquiring your first premises or selling a long-held asset, our role is to safeguard your position and help you achieve the right outcome.
Leases can be lengthy and full of obligations that may impact your business for years to come. We draft and review lease agreements, negotiate terms such as rent reviews, break clauses and repair obligations, and ensure that you understand your rights and responsibilities. If you are a landlord, we will help protect your property and income; if you are a tenant, we will ensure your lease is fair and workable.
Buying, selling or letting agricultural land requires specialist expertise. We guide you through the legal formalities, ensuring that all entitlements — such as subsidies, quotas, and tenancy rights — are transferred correctly between the parties. From small parcels of farmland to larger estates, we provide practical advice to keep the process straightforward and legally secure.
