Lease Renewals

Rent Review & Lease Renewals/Restructuring

Our lease consultancy services offer expert advice and support for clients in all aspects of commercial property leasing. With our team of highly experienced chartered surveyors, we provide comprehensive guidance on lease negotiations, lease renewals, rent reviews, and lease terminations.

• Lease Restructures - In the current economic climate lease restructuring can be a great initiative for unlocking value for clients. The “Lease Event” (rent review, lease renewal or break clause) is the one time when Landlords and Tenants talk to one another and mutual benefits to the relationship can be negotiated. Examples include insertion or deletion of a break clause, extending the term or opening up a restrictive user clause to gain a higher rent. Tenants, in some instances can receive incentives in the form of rent frees or cash sums where the Landlords investment value is enhanced.
• Rent Review - In rent review negotiations we utilise our agency contacts and databases to give us comprehensive knowledge of local and national markets. We specialise in analysing Case Law which can be valuable in proving whether a lease is advantageous or disadvantageous to the hypothetical Tenant, thus affecting the rent eventually paid.
• Break Clauses/Lease Expiry - We ensure our clients' position is protected and offer advice on the rights of lease renewal and compensation under the 1954 Landlord and Tenant Act plus the obligations to be met to operate a valid break clause.
• Leasehold Enfranchisement - We offer freeholders and lessees valuation advice and we negotiate premiums payable for either lease extension or freehold purchase. We will negotiate on our clients behalf and if necessary, act as Expert Witnesses in Leasehold Valuation or Lands Tribunals.
• Litigation / Expert Witness - Our surveyors have provided dispute resolutions over many years dealing with professional negligence, matrimonial disputes, boundary or construction issues as well as party wall disputes. We have acted on behalf of individuals, as well as corporate clients, with experience in both tribunal and court environments.
