Leases are often lengthy, complex documents.  They can be infinitely variable.  There are often an enormous difference between a short term lease of one year and a longer lease of, say, seven years plus.  Good, clear, swift advice is essential.

The precise wording of a lease is very important as it will govern the contract between the landlord and tenant for the whole of the lease term. A well drafted lease will include things such as the:

• tenant’s and the landlord's rights
• liability for repairs, maintenance and decoration
• alterations and tenant’s use
• rent and rent reviews
• security of tenure and tenant’s ability to assign (transfer or sell) the lease

We will ensure, whether you are a landlord or a tenant, that the lease suits your business needs. We can also advise you on the terms of your existing lease. We regularly advise on selling (or assigning) a lease and buying an existing lease, taking a new occupational lease, granting a new lease and subletting, renewing a lease and rent reviews , consents or licences to assign, sublet or charge and consents or licences for alterations.
