Sale or purchase through auction

We handle the intricate processes involved in the submission and preparation of legal packs, ensuring all documentation is thorough and compliant.
Our expertise extends to working with Trustees in Bankruptcy, Law of Property Act (LPA) receivers, and private clients, advising and supporting their legal requirements.
Agricultural and farming support
Beyond our core offerings, we provide comprehensive support to farmers, assisting them with complex issues such as generating income from grazing, selling land parcels, and leasing farm buildings and land.
How we can assist:
- Grazing licences – Proper legal documentation is essential for formalising grazing licences, safeguarding the interests of all involved parties.
- Land sales – Agricultural land often holds significant value due to its agricultural suitability and protective planning policies. Consulting with legal and environmental experts is vital to receive strategic planning advice that ensures compliance and long-term viability.
- Leasing farm buildings for storage – Leasing farm buildings for both agricultural and non-agricultural storage offers income potential. However, compliance with land rights and local planning regulations is essential.
Agricultural land offers opportunities for diverse income streams, such as renewable energy projects, hospitality, or recreational activities. However, diversifying land use may affect agricultural reliefs.
Our team is dedicated to helping farmers and their families navigate the unique challenges of the agricultural sector, ensuring that they receive thorough and insightful guidance.
Testimonials
“In both personal matters and in business matters I have been a customer of Sydney Mitchell for over fifty years and your company has always been my natural choice for solicitor services. You kindly referred me to your colleague Shilpa Unarkat in this latest matter and I write to thank you for this. Client
Shilpa has carried out the conveyancing work that I required promptly, accurately and with impressive pragmatism. She has kept me well informed at all stages of the process and has brought both transactions to a timely, successful conclusion. She is a credit to herself, to Sydney Mitchell and to your profession and I have enjoyed the whole process enormously.” Client
I want to sell my commercial property – what do I need to provide to my solicitor?
When you sell your commercial property, the buyer’s solicitor will request a whole host of information to carry out its due diligence and report to their client and/or the Lender. It is always a good idea to collate as much information as possible when you instruct your solicitor to act on the sale- this will avoid delays in the process.
