Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.
Lily
First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

No, there's no law saying you must have a solicitor to rent a commercial property. Landlords and tenants can work things out themselves. But just because you can, doesn't mean it's the best idea.

No, it's not a legal requirement to have a solicitor when selling a commercial property. However, a solicitor can handle key tasks like managing deposits, preparing documents, arranging exchanges and confirming money transfers. They also make sure you understand the process and any legal implications of going through with the transaction, whichever side you’re on.
Commercial property lawyers specialise in buying, selling and leasing commercial properties. They can help businesses by offering legal advice on things like contracts, developments, tax concerns and disputes.
Typically, the legal fees for a commercial lease can range from £1,500-£2,000. However, the price will vary from case to case depending on the complexity. Get started with Lawhive today for a fixed-cost commercial property solicitor quote.
