Anyone recommend me a solicitor?

[bemaster]

Hi guys - need a commercial lease done, which won't cost me a fortune

I know all the big firms, but their prices are inflated to say the least

Any recommendations??

Not sure if your still looking but we have used Robson Palmer in the past.

I've just signed a commercial lease. When I first discussed it with the letting agent I was responsible for internal repairs to the area I occupied.

After I moved in a lease arrived from the landlord's solicitor. All of a sudden it was a full repair lease and I was asked to waive any rights to renew at the end of the lease

When I threatened to move out the landlord said he would instruct the solicitor to change the contract. It came back with one clause leading to another and then to another but still said the same thing.

Eventually it was sorted but they all charge a fortune for something that comes off a wordprocessor. It's worse if you're the tennant. Often you pay a fortune for a the landlord's prewritten wordprocessed document and again for your solicitor to read it. It's no wonder there are so many empty business premises.
