Commercial transactions bring their own complexities, and we provide a full range of commercial search services to support property lawyers and their clients through each stage.
Using the same streamlined approach that powers our residential support, we tailor commercial search packs to suit the nature and scale of each transaction. Clients can define the content to match their specific requirements, with support from our experienced team to ensure no key risk areas are missed.
Commercial search packs are often significantly more expensive than their residential counterparts, and rightly so, as they typically involve larger sites, additional regulatory scrutiny, and more bespoke reporting. We work with you to balance cost, compliance, and lender requirements without unnecessary extras.
The selection of searches can be customised and can include the following, subject to location and client needs:
- Council or Regulated Local Authority Searches
- Water & Drainage Reports
- Environmental and Contaminated Land Reports
- Coal, Mining and Ground Stability Data
- Chancel Liability Cover
- Flood Risk Reports
- Highways and Access Searches
- Utilities & Infrastructure (Gas, Electric, Telecoms)
- Commons Registration and Village Greens (where relevant)
- Specialist Searches required by lenders or planning teams
We understand that lender requirements often determine what must be included. Whether acting for buyers, tenants, investors or funders, we support all parties in securing the right information to proceed with confidence.
Reports are returned swiftly, clearly presented, and delivered via our secure platform – with full transparency and no long-term tie-ins. Our commercial search support is about giving lawyers the flexibility to meet complex demands, backed by a responsive, knowledgeable team every step of the way.
