Approaching Lease Expiry?
Commercial lease renewals involve far more than agreeing a new rent. As a lease approaches expiry, both parties should consider whether the existing terms remain appropriate and identify opportunities to improve flexibility, reduce risk and align the lease with their current objectives.
Key considerations often include lease length, break options, repairing obligations, service charge provisions, rental levels, incentives, future space requirements and potential dilapidations liabilities.
How We Can Help
Our surveyors advise on all aspects of commercial lease renewals, including:
- Security of tenure and statutory notices
- Lease terms and break options
- Repairing liabilities and service charge provisions
- Rental levels and incentives
- Dilapidations exposure
- Business relocation strategies
- Disputed lease renewals
Whether acting on a single property or a larger portfolio, we provide practical advice designed to achieve commercially advantageous outcomes.
Security of Tenure & the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954
Many business tenancies benefit from security of tenure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, providing occupiers with a statutory right to renew their lease when it expires.
Understanding whether a tenancy benefits from statutory protection, when notices should be served and how terms should be negotiated is critical. Early advice can help ensure important deadlines are not missed and that all available options are properly considered.
