Commercial property lease legal process

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, our commercial property lawyers will provide you with expert legal advice on commercial leases and skillfully negotiate the most appropriate terms for your business to protect your interests.

The legal process involved in commercial property leases can be complex, but our coherent and practical approach to handling this will be fully explained to you at each stage of the process so that you are always fully informed and have a thorough understanding of the associated costs from the outset.

The property lease legal process typically involves:

  • Thorough due diligence checks and reports
  • Structuring the deal with the drafting and negotiation of heads of terms
  • Performing the relevant property searches to identify potential risks
  • Reviewing the title deeds to check for any issues such as restrictive covenants
  • Negotiating the lease and other documentation

By meticulously considering all aspects of the process and what effects they may have on the transaction, we are able to foresee and, in many cases, prevent future disputes.

In addition to commercial leases, we also advise on a range of additional legal matters relating to leasehold properties, including rent reviews, licences to assign, subletting or carrying out alterations, break notices, dilapidations, business lease renewals, and other breach situations including pursuing court proceedings.
