A commercial mortgage offer and a suitable property do not always become ready at the same moment. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise buyers in Chelmsford on commercial property acquisitions, coordinating the legal investigation with the requirements of the proposed funding. Understanding both workstreams early can make your decisions about exchange better informed.

Read the funding assumptions

Share the proposed loan terms and identify who will own the premises and who will borrow. A lender may require documents or answers beyond those initially requested by the buyer. We establish the scope of our role, including whether we can also act for the lender, before treating finance arrangements as settled for the transaction.

Resolve property issues in context

A restriction on use, an unclear access arrangement or an existing occupier may matter both to your business and to the lender's security. We review the title, appropriate searches and contract papers, then raise targeted enquiries. The lender's valuation has a different purpose from a building survey commissioned to assess condition for your own purchase decision.

Check the route to available funds

Before exchange, identify remaining loan conditions, the buyer's contribution and the arrangements for requesting funds. Contract obligations should be understood even if a funding problem arises later. We help coordinate completion documentation and explain outstanding legal requirements; neither an approval in principle nor an intended drawdown date guarantees that money will be available when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I assume my solicitor will represent the mortgage lender too?

No. That depends on the lender's requirements and the agreed instruction. Confirm the position early, because separate representation can introduce additional document requests and coordination between the professionals involved in your purchase.

Is an approval in principle enough to exchange contracts?

It should not be treated as unconditional funding. Your solicitor needs to understand the actual offer and outstanding requirements, and you should assess how you would meet the contract if finance were unavailable.

Why might the bank ask about a minor title issue?

The bank is assessing its security, which can raise concerns different from your immediate occupation plans. Provide the request promptly so its significance and any proposed resolution can be considered before you commit.
