A buyer needs to know exactly which commercial property is being offered, including ancillary areas that may be easy to overlook. Paul Robinson Solicitors support sellers in Colchester with checking the legal description against the proposed deal. This helps identify discrepancies before the contract is built around a plan or marketing statement that does not match the evidence.

Compare the particulars with the documents

Review the sales plan and mark buildings, yards, parking and access areas included in the offer. We examine the title material and ask about any apparent mismatch. If more than one owner or title is involved, that needs to be identified. A postal address or longstanding pattern of use should not be treated as a complete description of the land you can transfer.

Explain boundary information carefully

Provide relevant deeds, agreements and correspondence about boundaries or neighbouring use. Title plans usually indicate general boundaries rather than exact measurements. A surveyor may be needed where physical detail is important. We help address the buyer's legal questions without promising that a line on a plan resolves every issue concerning fences, walls or the precise extent of the property.

Agree a consistent sale package

Once the extent is understood, ensure the contract and transfer reflect the agreed transaction. We handle enquiries and completion arrangements, including any necessary participation by other owners or lenders. Tell your agent if the marketing description needs correction. Resolving a discrepancy may require negotiation, and you should not assume an essential additional area can be obtained from a neighbour simply to preserve the original bargain.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if the brochure includes land outside my title?

Raise it with your solicitor and agent promptly. The legal position and description need checking before the buyer relies further on the particulars, rather than assuming the issue can be corrected quietly at completion.

Can years of maintaining a verge prove it belongs in the sale?

That fact alone does not settle ownership. Explain the history and provide relevant evidence so the position can be investigated before the verge is included as land you are entitled to transfer.

Why might a buyer request a clearer plan?

The plan needs to identify the intended property adequately for the transaction. If features or areas are unclear, further detail may be required so the legal documents and the parties' practical understanding correspond.
