Commercial Property Solicitors Cheshire

Acting for a Knutsford professional services firm acquiring a freehold office, Ana Pestana identified an onerous overage clause that would have triggered a substantial payment if the client changed the use of the property. Ana negotiated a time-limited overage period and a reduced overage percentage, significantly reducing the client's long-term liability.

A Warrington manufacturing business was taking a new lease on an industrial unit in poor condition. Ana Pestana insisted on a detailed schedule of condition being attached to the lease, limiting the tenant's repair obligations to the state of the property at the start of the lease. This avoided a potential £35,000+ dilapidations claim at lease end.

"We were about to sign a commercial lease in Macclesfield without fully understanding the implications. Ana Pestana reviewed it thoroughly, explained the risks in plain English and renegotiated several clauses on our behalf. We're so glad we instructed her before signing."

A Cheshire-based property investor instructed Ana Pestana to act on the simultaneous acquisition of four commercial properties across Chester, Northwich, Crewe and Ellesmere Port. Ana coordinated all four transactions, managing the due diligence, title work and completion across the portfolio — delivering significant cost savings compared to using separate solicitors for each property.

"Ana Pestana handled our commercial refinancing in Northwich efficiently and professionally. She kept us updated throughout, resolved a title query quickly and completed on the agreed date. We've since recommended PDA Law to several other Cheshire businesses."

"We manage a portfolio of commercial properties across Cheshire and have used Ana Pestana for lease renewals, assignments and rent reviews for the past two years. She is always responsive, commercially minded and provides excellent value for money."
