Drafting and negotiating commercial leases
For many businesses, investing in property will be one of the most expensive monthly / quarterly commitments you make, so getting it wrong could have huge implications. Most leases are for a lengthy period and so if anything goes wrong during that period, or a dispute arises, it can have significant financial costs. We're here to guide you through every step of the process, from start to finish, and beyond. You can expect clear communications, keeping you updated as we work diligently to meet your timelines.
Our services include conducting thorough due diligence and providing straightforward reports on how it will impact your business. We'll draft and negotiate suitable heads of terms, and finesse the terms of the lease, introducing, amending or removing clauses where appropriate. We’ll always run drafts by you and seek your green light.
In addition to our expertise, we can tap into our trusted network of industry experts if you need help from agents, surveyors, or planners. We will also negotiate the lease and associated documentation, and handle all post-completion matters, such as completing SDLT and HMLR applications as necessary.
Understanding your business and objectives is key to tailored decision-making.
