Purchasing, building or leasing new premises
Whether your business is looking to buy, build or lease commercial premises in Fulham, Chelsea, Putney, Hammersmith or beyond, our dedicated commercial property team will help make the process as swift and smooth as possible.
Get in touch as soon as you find your ideal property – and before you conclude your negotiations with the agent – or better still, before negotiations even start. There is so much more to a property negotiation than the cost per square foot, and our specialised assistance could help you get the right deal and save you a huge amount of money.

What it will cost
We are happy to have an initial discussion over the phone regarding international matters free of charge. After that we will charge a consultation fee if a meeting is required. During this we will endeavour to provide a fixed price quotation for our services and clear guidance on any further costs. The consultation fee will usually be deducted from the overall legal costs.
