A company selling commercial property needs clear authority for the transaction and reliable factual information about the premises. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise sellers in the City of London on coordinating those requirements. We help prepare the disposal documents while distinguishing company decisions, property knowledge and the signing arrangements needed to carry the agreed transaction into effect.

Establish who owns and approves the sale

Provide the corporate owner's details and explain the relevant governance arrangements. Identify any other interests or internal approvals that may affect the disposal. We review the title and transaction instructions and identify additional advice where required. The person negotiating the commercial terms should not be assumed to have authority to approve every commitment or execute every document on the company's behalf.

Find the right people for factual enquiries

A director may understand the proposed sale without knowing the building's maintenance or occupation history. Involve property managers and colleagues with relevant records, then check the replies through an agreed process. We help address the buyer's legal questions, but the information must have a reliable basis. Avoid presenting a newly appointed officer's limited personal knowledge as a complete account of the company's records.

Prepare execution and completion together

Identify the required signatories and any practical constraints early. We negotiate the contract and coordinate documents, lender arrangements and completion requirements within the instruction. Corporate approval, valid execution and readiness to complete are related but distinct matters. Keep the legal team informed of changes in decision-makers or transaction structure rather than assuming documents prepared earlier will remain suitable without review.

Frequently asked questions

Can the employee negotiating the price sign every sale document?

Authority and execution requirements need checking. Tell your solicitor who is involved and provide the requested information, rather than assuming responsibility for commercial negotiations automatically includes authority to bind the company in every way.

How should a new director answer questions about old property events?

Explain the limits of personal knowledge and consult the available company records and relevant staff. Your solicitor can help frame accurate replies without turning an absence of personal recollection into an unsupported statement about the past.

Should internal approval be obtained only when the buyer is ready?

Discuss the approval process early so it can be coordinated with negotiations. The company should understand the proposed commitments before becoming bound, and outstanding internal decisions should not be concealed by an optimistic completion plan.
