Commercial property leases - key facts
Commercial leases can be difficult to comprehend for many landlords and tenants.
Getting a new commercial lease or lease renewal right from the outset is critical.
Let us provide you with expert legal advice guidance on getting your lease fit for purpose:
- Buyer Beware - find out everything about the property before you complete the lease.
- Head of Terms - length of the lease, your rights as it ends, deposits or guarantees required
- Repair - your obligations on maintenance and repair
- Service Charge - How much? What is it used for? Is there a maximum level?
- Stamp Duty - Does it apply? If so, how much?
