Commercial Property Dispute Resolution
Property Transaction Rescue
When a commercial property transaction begins to unravel, the early warning signs are often delay, uncertainty, or disagreement between the parties.
Delays affect financing. Title issues threaten usability and value. Contractual disputes stall development plans. All of this disrupts investment strategies and places wider portfolio plans under pressure.
At that stage, you do not just need legal advice. You need a clear understanding of:
- Where you are exposed
- What risks are developing
- Whether the deal remains commercially viable
- And what action protects your position best
Property Transaction Rescue is Vyman Solicitors’ structured, fixed-fee solution designed to help investors, developers, and business owners assess problems early and take strategic action before disputes escalate further.
Through the Property Transaction Rescue Diagnostic, we identify the legal and commercial risks affecting the transaction, assess pressure points impacting value and timing, and provide a strategic roadmap designed to help you protect leverage, reduce exposure, and make informed commercial decisions quickly.

Case Study Highlights
Property Development Dispute (£4.2m transaction)
Developer discovered a post-exchange title change removing part of the site, jeopardising access, buildability and planning viability. A £420,000 deposit and lucrative development project was at risk, with completion unable to proceed. Decisive action led to termination of the contract and sustained litigation pressure, resulting in a £1m settlement secured for the developer against the property.
Commercial Lease Dispute (£100k+ arrears)
Tenant failed to pay rent following a disputed rent review, creating significant arrears and uncertainty over lease enforcement. Decisive action led to possession being secured, with full recovery of arrears, interest and costs through court proceedings.
Commercial Property Access Dispute (Operational risk)
Adjoining development restricted access to commercial premises, disrupting operations, deliveries and customer flow, and creating ongoing business risk.
Strategic intervention led to a negotiated resolution, restoring access and removing operational uncertainty for the business.
