Commercial Property Info — Landlords / Tenants
Commercial Landlord & Tenant Legal Support.
Commercial lease and property support for landlords and tenants, from heads of terms through to completion and ongoing lease matters.
What commercial landlords need to consider
- Preparing a compliant lease — clear terms on rent, repairs, service charges, insurance and use of the premises.
- Statutory and regulatory compliance — EPCs, asbestos management, fire safety, and health & safety obligations.
- Managing consents and controls — alterations, signage, subletting, assignments and change of use.
- Protecting rental income — rent deposits, guarantors, break clauses and default provisions.
- Service charge and maintenance structures — ensuring clarity to avoid disputes later.
A well-drafted lease protects your asset, reduces risk, and ensures you retain control over how your property is used.
What commercial tenants need to consider
- Understanding lease obligations — repairs, service charges, insurance, rent reviews and break clauses.
- Checking the property’s legal status — access rights, parking, shared areas, utilities and restrictions.
- Planning and permitted use — ensuring the premises is suitable for your intended business activity.
- Financial commitments — fit-out costs, business rates, maintenance and compliance.
- Avoiding hidden liabilities — especially in older buildings or full repairing leases.
A thorough legal review protects your business from unexpected costs, operational restrictions, or long-term obligations you didn’t anticipate.
