Specialist Commercial Property Solicitors – Lease Experts for Your Business

At Afsar Williams Solicitors, we offer comprehensive and tailored legal advice for businesses navigating the complexities of commercial property law. With specialist experience in lease negotiation, renewals, assignments, and dispute resolution, we act for a wide range of clients across Birmingham and beyond — from shop owners and salon operators to restaurateurs, barbers, and retail landlords.

Whether you are taking on your first premises, expanding to a new site, or managing a lease dispute, our expert commercial property solicitors provide the clarity, confidence, and protection you need to make informed decisions.

Commercial Lease Services for Businesses of All Sizes

We act for both landlords and tenants in all aspects of commercial lease transactions. Our priority is to ensure your interests are fully protected, risks are minimised, and your legal documents are watertight.

Our core services include:

Lease Negotiation & Drafting

Whether you’re letting a property or taking on a new lease, we negotiate the key terms of the agreement to secure your position and ensure clarity from the outset. We advise on rent, term, rent review clauses, repair obligations, service charges, break clauses, and more.

Industries we serve include:

Restaurants & Takeaways
Salons & Nail Bars
Barbers
Grocers & Supermarkets
Retail Shops
Boutiques
Cafés
Offices & Warehouses

Lease Renewals & Extensions

When your lease is nearing expiry, we help you negotiate a renewal on fair and favourable terms — whether under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 or through a bespoke agreement. Our team ensures you’re not caught out by automatic termination or unfavourable terms.

Deeds of Assignment & Subletting

If you wish to transfer your lease to another party or sublet part of your premises, we’ll guide you through the process efficiently. We prepare and review Deeds of Assignment, advise on landlord consent, and ensure compliance with your existing lease.

Lease Termination & Surrender

There are many reasons a lease may need to end early. We advise on the best legal route — whether through mutual surrender, break clause, or forfeiture. Our team protects your rights and negotiates any outstanding liabilities.

Dispute Resolution & Enforcement

Lease disputes can arise over rent arrears, repairs, service charges, or unauthorised subletting. We provide robust representation and seek early resolution to avoid disruption to your business. Where needed, we handle litigation, possession proceedings, and injunctions.
