A commercial transaction needs a clear understanding of what will be available at handover. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise clients in Greenwich on property purchases, sales, leases, development and litigation. We help examine occupation, access and completion arrangements so that the proposed legal terms reflect how the property is expected to be delivered and used.

Establish the current occupation position

Identify tenants, licensees or other users and provide the documents governing their occupation. Explain whether the proposal is to acquire with occupiers in place or obtain empty premises. The legal effect of the existing arrangements needs checking; an intention to move or an informal assurance should not be treated as confirmation that every right has ended.

Describe what handover is intended to include

Keys, access arrangements, retained items and outstanding works can affect the practical transaction. Clarify responsibilities and any agreed conditions while documents are being negotiated. Our solicitors can advise on the relevant legal terms, with technical input where needed. A clear commercial account helps identify questions that might otherwise be discovered only when occupation or development is due to begin.

Seek advice if the expected position changes

A remaining occupier, disputed access or incomplete obligation may affect the available options. Share the facts and correspondence promptly rather than taking possession-related action on assumption. Our commercial property litigation advice can assess the documents and circumstances. The appropriate response to a handover problem depends on the actual rights and terms, not solely on the inconvenience caused.

Frequently asked questions

Should every occupier be identified before a commercial purchase?

Yes. Their arrangements may affect the interest being acquired and the ability to occupy or develop. Provide the relevant documents rather than relying only on who is physically present at a viewing.

Can a verbal promise to leave replace checking occupation rights?

No. The legal arrangements and required steps need assessment. An intention to leave does not by itself establish the position on the proposed completion date.

What should I do if the property is not ready for the agreed handover?

Contact your solicitor promptly with the facts and documents. Obtain advice before treating the agreement as ended, taking unilateral possession steps or making a further binding commitment.
