Commercial & Agricultural Property
Legal advice for commercial property, farm and land transactions.
Commercial property and land transactions often involve significant financial commitment and long-term implications for businesses, landowners and farming families.
Whether acquiring, selling or transferring property, it is essential that issues relating to title, use, access and security are addressed carefully from the outset.
Pierse Fitzgibbon advises clients on a wide range of non-residential property and land transactions, including the sale and purchase of commercial premises, farm and land transfers, and property matters connected with business and agricultural activity. Our role is to ensure transactions are completed on a legally sound basis, with clear documentation and a practical understanding of the commercial and land-use considerations involved.

Core Areas of Work
We advise on the sale and purchase of commercial property, including offices, retail units, industrial premises and investment property. Our work includes investigation of title, advising on contracts and conditions of sale, managing due diligence and completing transactions in a structured and efficient manner.
Farm and land transfers require careful handling, particularly where land is being transferred within families or between generations. We advise on the legal aspects of farm transfers, site transfers and other land-based transactions, ensuring that ownership is correctly transferred and documentation reflects the intended arrangements. Where appropriate, we work alongside other advisers to support succession planning and long-term land use.
Voluntary transfers arise where property is transferred without a sale, often between family members or connected parties. These transactions commonly occur as part of estate planning, family arrangements or the restructuring of ownership, and require careful legal handling despite the absence of a commercial purchase price.
We advise on the legal process involved in voluntary property transfers, ensuring that title is correctly transferred, documentation is accurate, statutory requirements are met and relevant tax considerations are addressed. The focus is on structuring the transfer appropriately and ensuring it aligns with wider personal, family or business objectives.
Who We Act For
We act for business owners, investors, landowners and farming families involved in commercial property and land transactions. Our clients include those acquiring or disposing of business premises, investors dealing with commercial assets, and families managing the transfer of agricultural land across generations.
Many of the matters we advise on involve property that plays a central role in long-term business or family planning. Clients value advice that recognises both the commercial importance of the asset and, in the case of agricultural land, the personal and generational considerations that often arise.
How We Work
Non-residential property and land transactions require careful co-ordination and attention to detail. Our approach is to identify potential legal issues early, explain their practical impact and address them in a proportionate and commercially sensible way.
We liaise with other solicitors, lenders, surveyors and advisers as required to ensure transactions progress smoothly and documentation accurately reflects what has been agreed. Clear communication and realistic timelines are central to how we work, particularly where multiple parties or complex land issues are involved.
