Leasing premises

Whether you are a landlord with premises to let or a tenant looking to take on a Lease you will need the specialist advice available from our Commercial Property Team.

Granting or taking on a lease is not straightforward. We have the experience and knowledge you can rely on to guide you through the often complex and confusing documents.

As a landlord you will be concerned with many issues including:

  • Security of tenure for the tenant
  • Rent review – frequency and type
  • Break clauses and their exercise
  • Extent of premises to be let
  • Repairing and insurance obligations

As a tenant it is important to understand all the provisions of a lease which will govern your use of the premises for the whole of the lease term. You will want to know exactly what you are signing up to. This also applies when an existing lease is being transferred to you. Other potential issues include:

  • Future disposal of the premises and continuing liability
  • Lease renewal
  • Lease expenses – in addition to the agreed rent
  • Stamp Duty Land Tax

We have a reputation for putting our advice into a clear, practical and very commercial context. Call us on 01904 558600 or click on our enquiry form to find out how we can help.
