Landlord and Tenant law is a minefield for the unwary and the ill advised. Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, experienced professional advice is essential to avoid costly mistakes.
How we can help
We can advise and deal with on your behalf the acquisition and disposal of all manner of commercial properties both freehold and leasehold. Whether it is a lease at an annual rent of only a few thousand pounds or a multi-million pound sale or redevelopment, you can benefit from the experience of our Commercial Property Department.
Leases
There is no such thing as a standard lease. They range in size from a few pages to a hundred or more and must cover as far as possible, every aspect and eventuality that may arise during the term of the lease.
For landlords, a modern well-drawn lease can considerably enhance the value of his investment, discourage dispute, and protect his interests. In addition to advising on the terms of the lease, we can also advise you on the effect of relevant legislation and in particular the rights granted under such legislation to the tenant irrespective of the terms of the lease.
From a tenant’s perspective, leases can be both harsh and onerous and do not always mean what they say. Sadly all too often the money saved in not taking professional advice is lost many times over as the price of ignorance.

The preliminary negotiations can make a huge difference to the deal eventually struck between the parties. A sound knowledge of the areas of negotiation at the start of the transaction can make all the difference. It is never to early in the process to take advice.
