Based in London and Sutton, we advise on commercial leases, acquisitions, disposals, refinancing and ongoing property-management matters across England and Wales. We also assist international clients with commercial property transactions in England and Wales.
Commercial Property Advice Focused on Your Objectives
Commercial property transactions can involve landlords, tenants, lenders, agents, surveyors and other advisers. The legal position matters, but the advice must also reflect the client’s commercial objectives, intended use, funding and transaction timetable.
Team Zaeem identifies the issues that may materially affect the transaction, explains their practical significance and helps clients understand the available options.
Advice That Helps You Decide, Not Just Review
Commercial property documents can raise a long list of legal and practical points. Not every issue carries the same importance.
We explain which matters may change the transaction, affect finance, restrict occupation, create future liabilities or influence the value of the property interest. Where an issue requires action, we explain the available options and the likely practical consequences.
Advice that helps you decide, not just review
Commercial property transactions often come with a long list of issues to work through.
What matters is knowing which ones change the deal, and which ones don’t.
We explain the impact of each decision, spot and deal with problems before they happen, set out your options, and help you move your transaction forward with confidence.

Agreements for Lease

We advise on the property documentation, conditions, responsibilities and timetable so that the parties understand what must happen before the lease is granted.
