Vida Del Padel is one of the UK's fastest-growing padel operators. Founded by lifelong friends Ross, Cory and Jan, the business launched its first venue in Lincoln in 2024 and has since expanded to six clubs nationwide, with ambitious plans to grow to 20 locations across the UK.
As part of its expansion strategy, Vida Del Padel required legal support to secure and develop new commercial premises for its clubs. Banner Jones was instructed to advise on commercial property matters relating to the company's Lincoln and Chichester sites.
The development of specialist sports and leisure facilities involves a range of commercial property considerations, often requiring careful coordination between landlords, tenants and other stakeholders.
For Vida Del Padel, the projects involved negotiating commercial lease arrangements and addressing planning and property-related matters necessary to facilitate the development and operation of the clubs.
With the business expanding at pace and working towards an ambitious nationwide growth strategy, it was important that legal advice was delivered efficiently and commercially, helping to keep projects progressing while protecting the company's interests.
Banner Jones' Business Legal Services team provided comprehensive commercial property support for the Lincoln and Chichester developments.
Our team:
By taking a proactive and collaborative approach, we helped ensure the legal aspects of the projects were managed effectively, enabling the client to focus on growing its business and preparing each venue for opening.
Banner Jones successfully supported Vida Del Padel on the property transactions relating to its Lincoln and Chichester clubs, helping bring two key venues to life as part of the company's wider expansion journey.
The company continues to grow rapidly and now operates six clubs across the UK, with plans for further locations nationwide, including a future venue in Chesterfield. Banner Jones is currently advising other padel businesses in relation to sites across the UK.
"Our goal has always been to create clubs that bring people together and make padel accessible to as many people as possible. As we've expanded, having trusted advisers to support individual projects has been invaluable, and Banner Jones provided important legal support on our Lincoln and Chichester sites.
We're excited about the future and look forward to bringing Vida Del Padel to even more communities in the years ahead."

You’re not legally required to use a solicitor to enter into a commercial lease, but it’s strongly recommended. Commercial leases can include important financial and legal obligations, and our commercial property lease advice can help you understand exactly what you’re agreeing to before you commit.
A commercial property solicitor handles the legal side of buying, selling, leasing, refinancing, and developing business property. We can review contracts and leases, carry out the necessary legal checks, deal with the other parties involved, and make sure you’re familiar with anything that could affect your business.
There’s no general legal requirement to instruct a solicitor when buying commercial property, but there can be a lot to manage before you complete. Our commercial property solicitors can carry out the legal checks, clarify any risks, and guide you through the purchase from start to finish. This often includes stamp duty land tax submission and registration with the Land Registry.
The cost of commercial property conveyancing will depend on the value and complexity of the transaction and the amount of legal work involved. We’ll explain our fees and any additional costs as clearly as possible at the outset.
There’s no set timescale because every transaction is different. Searches, funding, negotiations, and the complexity of the property can all affect how long things take. We’ll keep you updated throughout and do everything we can to keep your transaction moving.
Before signing, you should check the rent, lease length, repair obligations, service charges, permitted use, break clauses, and what happens when the lease ends. Our commercial lease legal advice can go through the terms and point out anything that could have an impact on your business.
There isn’t one right answer for every business. Buying can give you ownership of an asset, while leasing may offer greater flexibility and require less money upfront. We can talk you through the legal implications of both options alongside your wider commercial plans. Financial advisors, accountants and brokers can assist further.

As of 1 April 2018, Landlords with properties within the scope of these Regulations must not renew existing tenancies or grant new tenancies if the property has less than the minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of ‘E’.
