Commercial Leases

The acquisition and disposal of commercial property requires specialist experience and expertise. Commercial leases are potentially very dangerous. They can contain hidden or implied responsibilities and obligations and thus consequences, which can cause significant and long-term damage for any Landlord or Tenant.

We act for both Landlords and Tenants of all types of commercial property, from large city centre offices to office units; from large industrial factories to cottage businesses and from large retail centres to small seaside kiosks. We have extensive experience of providing advice at all stages of lease transactions including lease renewal, subletting and dilapidations. We also explore issues of insurance and rent reviews.

We provide expert guidance on the intricacies of statutory protection for business Tenants and the implications of negotiation, termination and renewal of business tenancies. We can produce modern leases which protect the investment value of the Landlord and which facilitate the relationship between Landlord and Tenant.
