Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, a commercial lease represents a significant commitment. From a landlord’s perspective, a well negotiated lease can have a substantial impact on the value of your property and the protection of your interests. From a tenant’s perspective, the terms of your lease will dictate the conditions of your tenure, not only financially but also ensuring that the occupation of your office or retail premises works for you and your business.
Having worked for several years at two of the leading real estate firms in the country and latterly as an in-house property adviser for an estate of over 130 properties, we have a wealth of experience in advising both landlords and tenants on a range of matters affecting their real estate portfolio.
We can advise you on a number of commercial property matters, specifically in relation to landlord and tenant matters, including:
- Commercial Leases;
- Lease Assignments;
- Lease Renewals;
- Licences for Alterations;
- Break Options;
- Rent Deposit Deeds;
- Rent Reviews;
- Reports on Title;
- Surrenders;
- Underlettings; and
- General Property Management Matters.
Whist surveyors and property advisors can be extremely experienced and adept in the science of estate management, we believe that their expertise is best utilised in tandem with specialist legal advice. We also believe that this should occur at the earliest possible stage in a transaction to ensure that commercial imperatives are harnessed with legal considerations.
