Existing & New Leases

How we can help

At Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors, we negotiate commercial leases on behalf of both Landlords and Tenants. Whether we are drafting the lease for a Landlord, or advising the Tenant of our observations and comments on the drafts we receive, we aim to provide professional and detailed advice as we understand the importance of determining the overall scope and principles of the transaction.

We would consider the following matters when taking instructions from our clients:-

Identity of parties – are you entering into the lease in your personal name or a company name?

Term and commencement date

Break Clauses

Rent review method & review periods

Security of tenure – is the lease to be excluded from the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954?

Any repairing obligations?

Any other requirements and arrangements decided between the Landlord and Tenant

We can advise you on the above terms and ensure you are content with the lease of which you are entering.

Whether you are an experienced client or a business owner taking on a lease for the first time, Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors will keep you informed and guide you through the process.
