Starting on 19 March, the Diploma in Commercial Property aims to expose practitioners to the key areas of practice that arise when advising clients in all areas of commercial property transactions. 

Lecturers will draw on their own experiences of practising in this area regarding legislative updates, practice directions and practical case studies to provide participants with the necessary knowledge to advance their knowledge and expertise. 

The practical emphasis of the course is reinforced by three practical workshops, which will provide an opportunity to engage with topics through problem-based scenarios in a small group setting. 

Modules

• 1: Introduction and Basic Principles
• 2: Commercial Leases
• 3: Development and Planning
• 4: Property Financing and Investment
• 5: Taxation
• 6: Dealing with Distressed Sales

This diploma is open to lawyers only. This course is aimed at solicitors with a level of experience in this area.  It will also provide a useful refresher course for those who may have recently returned to property practice, and for those looking to update their knowledge in this area. The course is also open to trainee solicitors who have successfully completed their PPC.
