Words from our clients

Thanks to Andrew Weir and Timothy Waitt, I’m glad to have instructed both solicitors to handle my case. I understand how challenging it was to negotiate the complicated dispute between the landlord and tenant, and I’m glad this matter has been resolved satisfactorily. I will certainly be in touch for similar matters and legal advice on those issues.

Conveyancing Client

Andrew was always available to take my calls and promptly responded to my emails. Andrew is a pleasure to deal with. He is an experienced conveyancer and handled my transaction seamlessly. He is unlike a regular “charge by the minute” character. He is approachable and kind.

Leasing business premises – Commercial conveyancing FAQs

What should I check before signing a commercial lease agreement?

Review key terms like rent, break clauses, repair obligations, and security of tenure. Be mindful of service charges, restrictive covenants, and notice periods. Having a solicitor review the lease ensures there are no hidden issues and that it meets your business needs.

How can I negotiate better terms for my commercial lease?

Negotiation is about securing flexibility and protection. Consider asking for a rent-free period, caps on service charges, or flexible break clauses. Having a solicitor negotiate on your behalf can help identify and amend any unfavourable terms, improving your overall position.

What is a break clause, and how does it benefit me?

A break clause allows the lease to end early if certain conditions are met. It offers tenants flexibility if business needs change and gives landlords the option to regain control of the property. Clear drafting is crucial to avoid disputes over the terms.

How often can the rent be reviewed, and what should I expect during a rent review?

Rent reviews usually happen every three to five years. The goal is to adjust rent to current market rates, often involving surveyors. Understand the review basis and any caps or increases. A solicitor can help ensure fair adjustments and avoid unexpected hikes.

Can I sublet my commercial property to another business?

Subletting can be a good option if you don’t need the full space, but it often requires landlord approval and compliance with lease terms. A solicitor can guide you through the process, draft the necessary agreements, and help avoid legal issues.
