If you are preparing to sell a commercial property in Peterborough it is important to know that there is a lot to prepare.

They will then obtain your title documents from the Land Registry office. Here at Burgh Thorpe Solicitors, our commercial property legal specialists can then arrange contract exchanges and confirm financial transfers.

This will include the transfer deed and terms of sale contract. Throughout the process of selling the commercial property, our commercial property lawyers will be on hand to guide you through each step. Our commercial property legal team will also be able to answer any questions that you might have.

You will need to ensure that your premises are left in good working order to prepare for the smooth selling of your commercial property. There will be other details and paperwork that needs to be provided too. This includes commercial planning use classes and a commercial energy performance certificate too. You will also need to prepare and provide business rate details. There may also be other costs that the buyer may be responsible for that you need to prepare for.

A CPSE will also be sent by the buyer. Our commercial property solicitors can help you complete this as there will be necessary information that you need to know about the commercial property that you are preparing to sell.
