Disposing of surplus land or a separate unit can leave a seller with premises that still depend on the area sold. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise commercial property owners in Harlow on sales of part. We help examine the proposed division so the immediate disposal is considered alongside the practical and legal needs of the property you intend to retain.

Trace what the retained property uses

Identify access routes, service connections, parking and maintenance areas crossing the proposed sale boundary. Discuss the plan with appropriate technical advisers and tell us which facilities are essential. We review the title and proposed documents. A sale price should not be agreed on the assumption that facilities will remain available merely because the buyer initially seems willing to cooperate.

Negotiate reciprocal arrangements clearly

The buyer may need rights over your retained land, while you may need rights over the part being transferred. We consider the proposed wording, maintenance responsibilities and restrictions on interference. These arrangements can shape future use on both sides. Review them as part of the commercial bargain rather than as minor drafting details to be settled after the main terms are considered final.

Check consents and completion requirements

A lender or another party may have an interest in the proposed division, requiring further investigation. We prepare the contract, respond to enquiries and coordinate the transfer documentation. Ensure the final plan matches the agreement and reflects any negotiated changes. The sale should leave you understanding the continuing relationship with the buyer, including obligations that remain after the proceeds have been received.

Frequently asked questions

Can I retain a right to use the yard after selling it?

That may be negotiable, but the required right should be expressly considered and documented. Explain its purpose and practical extent so the agreement is not left to an informal understanding with the buyer.

Why review service routes before drawing the sale boundary?

A division may separate your retained premises from infrastructure they rely on. Establishing the routes and responsibilities early allows the legal arrangements to be considered before a plan is adopted as the basis of the sale.

Does a lender's charge matter when only surplus land is being sold?

It can. The extent of the security and any release requirements need checking, even if the land is no longer useful to your business. Do not assume your description of surplus land determines the lender's position.
