Before committing to a commercial property purchase, establish which legal person is buying and how it will fund the acquisition. Paul Robinson Solicitors assist buyers in the City of London with transactions where companies, directors and lenders need a consistent set of documents. Getting the ownership structure clear early supports the legal work on the property itself.

Confirm the intended purchaser

Provide the full details of the proposed owner and explain its relationship with any trading company that will occupy the premises. A purchase by an individual differs from a purchase by a company, even if the same person controls both. We identify the information and authority needed for our instruction and flag structural questions requiring corporate or tax input.

Align the offer and finance documents

Compare the purchaser named in the agreed terms with the borrower and proposed registered owner. Changes should be discussed before documents are signed or funds committed. We review the title, searches and seller's replies while coordinating the acquisition documents. The property investigation should proceed on the basis of the actual transaction, not an entity name expected to be corrected informally later.

Prepare approvals and execution

Identify who can approve the purchase and who will sign the relevant documents. Any particular execution requirements or lender conditions should be considered as part of completion planning. We explain the legal steps and outstanding requirements before exchange. Internal commercial approval remains important, but it should not be confused with satisfying all conditions for a binding and properly documented acquisition.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the named buyer with my company just before completion?

Do not assume this is a simple administrative change. It may affect the contract, lending and tax analysis, and the seller's agreement may be needed. Tell your solicitor as soon as a change is contemplated.

Why ask who will occupy if a separate company owns the premises?

The relationship may require its own documentation and can affect the acquisition assumptions. Explaining the intended occupation allows the legal and commercial arrangements to be considered together instead of leaving use of the building undefined.

Does a director's agreement alone complete the corporate approval process?

The relevant authority and company arrangements need checking. Provide the requested records and discuss any particular governance requirements so the purchase is not planned around an assumption about who may approve or sign.
