Case Study: The Queens Hotel, Swansea
In the fast-paced world of commercial property, efficiency and expertise are essential to ensuring a smooth transaction.
When a five-figure deal for the assignment of the lease on The Queens Hotel, Swansea, needed to be completed within a 24-hour window, the team at Peter Lynn & Partners rose to the challenge.
Meeting the Deadline Without Compromise
Coordinated by Adrian Westoby, Commercial Property Conveyancer at Peter Lynn & Partners, this transaction required not only legal proficiency but also a strategic approach to ensure all parties were satisfied within the limited timeframe.
“From the outset, we understood that speed was of the essence,” said Adrian Westoby. “However, we also knew that rushing a deal of this scale without due diligence was not an option. Our priority was to ensure our client was fully protected while meeting their timeline.”
Navigating Legal Complexities
The assignment of the lease required careful negotiation and compliance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, the deal extended beyond just the lease itself—stock, licensing, and music rights all had to be considered.
“Commercial property transactions often involve more than just bricks and mortar,” Adrian continued. “Understanding the finer details, such as licensing requirements and employee considerations, is just as critical as handling the lease agreement.”
Collaborative Approach for a Seamless Transition
Recognising the importance of the staff already employed at The Queens Hotel, Employment Law Solicitor James-Lewis Hyndman provided key advice to ensure the transition was as smooth as possible for employees.
Delivering Exceptional Results
Despite the complexity of the deal, the team successfully completed the transaction in under 24 hours—a testament to their expertise, local knowledge, and client-focused approach.
“This was a great example of what can be achieved when experience, teamwork, and local connections come together,” Adrian reflected. “We were proud to deliver a service that met our client’s expectations, allowing them to move forward with confidence.”
