Our expertise
Our Commercial Property Services
Whether you're acquiring premises, expanding your portfolio, negotiating a lease or refinancing an existing property, we provide legal support tailored to the transaction and your wider business objectives.
Buy-to-Let Purchases
Legal support for investors acquiring residential property for rental income, from initial instruction through to completion.
Portfolio Acquisitions
Acquiring multiple properties requires careful coordination. We help manage the legal work across your portfolio acquisition and keep the different moving parts aligned.
Company Purchases
Buying property through a company can involve additional legal and funding considerations. We provide guidance throughout the transaction and work with your wider professional team where required.
Auction Purchases
Auction transactions come with strict deadlines and limited room for delay. We review the legal documentation, identify key issues and work towards the required completion date.
Bridging Finance
Bridging transactions can be time-sensitive and complex. We work with investors, lenders and brokers to progress the legal requirements and keep funding-related transactions moving.
Refinancing
Whether you're refinancing a single property or restructuring finance across a portfolio, we manage the legal requirements and coordinate with lenders and other advisers.
Development Projects
Property development involves multiple stages, stakeholders and legal considerations. We provide property law support with a focus on identifying issues and keeping the project moving.
Multi-Property Transactions
Where several properties form part of one transaction, coordination is critical. We manage the legal work across the portfolio and maintain focus on the overall deal.
Residential Investment Property
From individual buy-to-let purchases to larger residential portfolios, we provide investment-focused legal support tailored to your objectives.
Commercial Investment Property
We advise investors acquiring, selling, refinancing and managing commercial investment property, bringing practical insight to the wider transaction.
Why Sharpwell Property Law
Commercial property law with a different mindset.
A commercial property transaction can involve significant sums, tight deadlines and multiple stakeholders. We believe your legal team should understand the bigger picture, not simply complete the legal tasks in front of them.

Our internal “Friday Rule” ensures consistent weekly progress updates to every client, accountability, and fast issue resolution.

We operate a disciplined, momentum-driven process designed to keep transactions moving.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How it works
Understand the objective. Identify the risks. Move the transaction forward.
We don't believe commercial property law should operate in isolation from the commercial realities of the transaction. Our approach is built around four key stages:
01
Understand the Objective
What are you trying to achieve? We start by understanding the commercial purpose behind the transaction.
02
Identify the Risks
We examine the legal position, identify potential issues and highlight anything that could affect the transaction or your wider objectives.
03
Coordinate Stakeholders
Commercial property transactions rarely involve just two parties. We work with agents, lenders, brokers, surveyors and counterpart solicitors to keep everyone aligned.
04
Progress the Transaction
We focus on the outstanding actions, deal with issues as they arise and keep the transaction moving towards completion.
