PRACTICE
AREAS
DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT PROPERTY
We act on behalf of a number of developer and investor clients, both corporate and private, advising on all manner of property assets, including business parks and multi-let, mixed use properties across the whole of England and Wales.
BUSINESS PREMISES
Even in today's digital age, most businesses still need premises from which to trade, whether these are offices, shops, storage warehouses, hotels, pubs, cafes.... the list goes on, and no two transactions are ever quite the same.
LANDLORD & TENANT
Landlord and tenant law is one of the most complicated and ever-changing areas of legal work, full of potentially expensive traps for the unwary. We act in connection with all aspects of commercial and residential landlord and tenant work, including leasehold enfranchisement and lease extensions.
SECURED LENDING
We provide expert advice to both lenders and borrowers in connection with the securitization of property assets, from single mortgage deals to multi-million pound portfolio re-finances.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Disputes are an unfortunate fact of business life. Approached and managed properly however, realistic objectives can be achieved or damage to business contained. We also advise on possession proceedings, service charge disputes and debt collection.
FAMILY & MATRIMONIAL
We are here to help if you need advice on the law about family relationships, their formation, duration and breakdown, such as divorce, about child arrangements and financial provision for children, and about family financial disputes.
HOME CONVEYANCING
Moving home is one of the most stressful life events that most people will face. Our experienced conveyancers are here to help explain the process in terms that you will understand and make sure that it goes as smoothly as possible.
ABOUT US
Bate & Albon Solicitors is a specialist real estate law firm, covering all aspects of property law, but with a strong focus on transactional commercial and residential property matters at its core. This requires combining effective, commercial negotiating skills with a genuine expertise in property law, which underpins everything that we do, and covers the full range of possible freehold and leasehold transactions.
We are also able to advise in respect of options, joint ventures, partnerships, funding and promotion agreements, and the like, which are often used by clients to facilitate particular projects, as well as planning and environmental matters to help unlock development potential from land.
We pride ourselves on providing expert commercial advice on all aspects of the real estate sector. Key to this is gaining a clear understanding our clients' businesses and goals. We also employ a realistic and transparent approach to fees from the outset of every matter.
As we continue to grow as a firm, we have also now added specialist family and matrimonial advice to the legal assistance that we offer.
Our aim is always to surpass our client's expectations by combining expert but pragmatic advice, with genuinely excellent client service levels.

“We instructed Bate & Albon Solicitors to help us with our first lease agreement. They were extremely helpful as well as patient while walking us through the process, explaining everything.
When we came close to the desired closing date, they worked hard on our behalf to get the deal closed on time. We are very satisfied with their service and would recommend them to anyone."
Jonathan Kiekbusch - MD - i2W Ltd
"We were in the process of selling our offices when we were recommended to use Lyn Farkas and we are so pleased that we did. Within around 30 seconds of meeting her she instilled confidence and trust that she was truly working for us. During the transaction Lyn was always contactable, down to earth and professional. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a personalised and professional service."
