For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Petworth.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Petworth and how can your lawyers assist?

There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Petworth
