Commercial Property Development and Estate Setup

Ellis Jones’ Commercial Property Team has a wealth of experience in advising Developers on all parts of Commercial Property Development including the Purchase of the Land, setting up how the Development will operate and either selling or leasing parts of the Development to other parties.

We have acted on many different types and sizes of Development and believe we offer excellent Legal and Commercial advice to Developers

Purchase of the Land

Please click on the link “Sales and Purchases” for information on Land Purchases

 Estate Setup

We will work with you to decide what is the best set up for your Estate.

With our advice, and that of your surveyor you may decide that you want to either; sell each Unit, grant a long Lease for a price (known as a premium) or grant a short term Lease where the Tenant pays an annual rent for the use of the Premises – see Drafting and Negotiating Leases for more information.

It does not matter which method you choose, we have the expertise to set up the Estate. We will advise on areas such as:

  • Collateral Warranties for the buildings
  • Section 106 Agreements
  • Road adoptions
  • Sewer adoptions
  • Advice on contracts with Builders
  • Service Charges - who pays for maintenance of the Estate?
  • Future Liabilities of you as Developer

Selling or Leasing your Development

Once the Estate is set up we will act on your behalf in either the selling or leasing of the properties on your Development.

We will prepare the legal pack to allow you to Sell or Lease the Properties on your Development
