Commercial Property Solicitors Chester

A Chester city centre retailer instructed Ana Pestana to review a proposed 5-year lease on a prime retail unit. Ana identified an above-market rent and negotiated a 3-month rent-free period, a tenant-only break clause at year 3, and a cap on service charge increases — saving the client an estimated £18,000 over the lease term.

Acting for a Chester logistics company acquiring a Sealand Road industrial unit, Ana Pestana identified restrictive covenants and an unregistered access right that could have prevented the client's intended use. Ana negotiated indemnity insurance and a deed of variation with the seller's solicitors, completing the transaction on the agreed timeline.

"Ana Pestana handled our new Chester office lease from start to finish. She explained every clause clearly, flagged the issues that mattered and got the deal done in three weeks. We've used PDA Law for two further transactions since."

"As first-time commercial property buyers, we were nervous about the process. Ana Pestana walked us through every step, was always available to answer questions and completed our Chester purchase without any issues. Highly recommended."

A Chester-based property investor needed to refinance a 3-property commercial portfolio within a tight 6-week window to meet a lender deadline. Ana Pestana coordinated all three transactions simultaneously, liaising with the lender's solicitors and managing the title work to complete on time.

"Ana handled our commercial lease renewal and rent review for our Chester industrial unit. She was direct, commercially minded and got us a better outcome than we expected. The fees were very reasonable compared to other firms we'd used."
