What Our Clients
Say About Us

You are the best Lawyer
How wonderful and amazing Oliverta is. Thank you for everything you are the best.

Top class service
Waterstone Legal were the cheapest quote we could find but the quality of the service was 5 star. We had prompt replies to our emails (within an hour or two) every time and Darius was instrumental in pushing the buyer’s Solicitors when they were slow to respond. If I was selling again now, I would choose Waterstone again without hesitation. Thank you Darius!

Great work!
WS Legal did a great job with our sale. Towards the end, when we were nearing completion, the buyer's party raised numerous questions, and the solicitor assigned to our case (Nithi), very diligently checked requests and responded. She also kept me informed of developments so I could help answer queries. She did her best to move the sale to exchange ASAP. She was also kind and helpful - she did a great job!

FAQ'S

I am starting a business, why do I need legal advice for a commercial lease?

Leases are long, complex documents that can be hard to understand. A solicitor can help explain your obligations and liabilities and make sure that you have the best possible agreement.

Do I need to pay stamp duty on a commercial lease?

In most cases commercial leases over a certain value are subject to SDLT. Your solicitor can explain how much SDLT your lease will attract once they have the details and help you take care of this payment.

How much stamp duty will I have to pay on a commercial lease?

If the ‘no fault’ petition is used, a divorce has no grounds for defence.

Does a commercial lease need to be registered?

Yes, in most cases commercial leases over seven years need to be registered with the land registry. This will be confirmed by your solicitor.
