Buying and Selling a Property Based Business

If you have recently found the perfect shop, garage, hairdressers or other property based business to buy, or have decided to put your existing business up for sale, we can help you close the deal so you can confidently begin the next stage of your life.

Why Choose Us?

Unlike most law firms who need to engage a number of lawyers to complete a buying and selling a property business transaction, we have specially trained lawyers who can manage the whole process from start to finish. This provides three important advantages:

  1. It reduces the final cost of the transaction as only one lawyer is involved
  2. The process will be completed quickly and efficiently as your lawyer does not need to pass any work on to another team member to complete different parts of the transaction
  3. You will engage with one lawyer from the start of the matter until its completion and they will be able to answer all your questions and keep you up to date on your situation

How We Can Help You Buy or Sell a Property Based Business

Buying or selling a property based business such as a retail outlet or takeaway shop involves proper care and due diligence to ensure your interests are protected. We can advise you on:

  • Leases
  • Fixtures and fittings
  • Goodwill
  • Employment law
  • Due diligence

With our expertise in this area you can be assured that the legal advice pertaining to your going concern is accurate and up-to-date. We will ensure that all legal matters are explained to you in clear, jargon-free language and talk over any concerns or questions you may have in a friendly, approachable manner.



Providing one point of contact, someone who can deal with every part of the process, is a significant advantage and an excellent reason for you to instruct Bennett Oakley to act on your behalf.
