Property assets, either freehold or leasehold, almost inevitably comprise a substantial proportion of the value of any corporate transaction. For sellers, knowing how to deal with landlords, whose consent to assign leases may be needed on a business sale, is impatient. Likewise, obtaining the consent of a bank, which is being asked to release its security over freeholds, can be fundamental to a transaction proceeding. 

When acting for buyers, have the right sort of instructions been given to valuers, whose opinion might be required to support some significant borrowing?  And, might there be issues concerning dilapidations claims or title problems which could give rise to last minute issues on a disposal containing leasehold property?

Representation UK has experience of dealing with these sorts of business issues, and more.
