Commercial property
Head of service Colin Brass
Contact this team commprop@wjm.co.uk
We provide specialist advice and active support for our commercial property clients.
Our team is highly experienced in all aspects of commercial property, including:
- acquisitions
- disposals
- development
- lending
- leasing
- landlord and tenant
- the planning process, and
- English property transactions.
Specialist teams also serve the following areas: business lending & security, franchising, the licensed trade, renewable energy and telecoms.
How we’re different
We don’t focus on purely technical solutions: we’re pragmatic, proactive and commercially-minded. We’re down-to-earth and approachable, and we use plain English.
We recognise that your needs are unique, so we will provide you with the particular service that you want. We work closely with our clients’ other advisers and with other WJM specialists as a team to deliver the solutions our clients want.
We understand that successful relationships are a key part of business life. We’ll provide you with a high level of relationship continuity, emphasising consistency of personnel and service. This allows us to understand what makes you tick and know what really matters to you.
We’ll take time to establish the most efficient means of communicating with you so you’re always fully updated and informed.
We’re known for our high levels of client loyalty. Our clients tell us that they like our approach (although we are never complacent). We take time at the outset of a client relationship to meet our clients and understand their wider goals and priorities.
We are happy to agree budgets and clearly explain costs at the outset of a deal.
Our ability to handle English property transactions is valuable. It allows us to provide a UK-wide commercial property service, providing savings for our clients in terms of cost and administration.
Why WJM?
Our commercial property team has the depth of experience and expertise that you need. We also have a no-nonsense, approachable manner.
We’ll work collaboratively with you to deliver maximum value for you. Our high levels of client loyalty and impressive client portfolio testify to the continued success of our team.
Recently we were honoured to be shortlisted as a finalist in the Commercial Property Team of the Year at the RJ Cuthbert Law Awards.
