Commercial Leases

A commercial lease is a serious obligation and should not be entered into lightly by either party.

If you’re a tenant, it’s important to realise that a lease can play a major part in the success of your business, in terms of suitability of premises, the rental and outgoings overhead, and other lease obligations. If you’re an investor, you need to be aware of your rights and obligations as landlord. And when it’s time to sell, potential buyers will want to see that formal leases are in place and are up to date.

We act for both landlords and tenants on commercial lease agreements, lease renewals, lease variations and rent reviews.
