We advise both landlords and tenants on the full range of these matters — from rent reviews and lease renewals to dilapidations, licence to alterations and service charge issues — providing clear advice and effective negotiation. Where required, we enter into negotiations to help resolve the issue. Where a matter cannot be resolved by negotiation and becomes a formal dispute, we can also act in an expert capacity.
Dilapidations concern a tenant's obligation to return a property to the condition required by the lease. We act on both sides:
In each case, we advise on the merits of the case and always provide clear and independent advice.
We advise and negotiate rent reviews under existing leases, acting for landlords and for tenants. We assess the appropriate rent on the basis the lease requires, advise you on your position, and negotiate the reviewed rent — protecting your interest whether you are seeking to increase or to resist an increase.
We act on lease renewals, particularly renewals of commercial tenancies under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. Acting for either party, we advise on the heads of terms and the rent and negotiate the renewal.
Where a tenant wishes to carry out alterations, the lease will usually require the landlord's consent, documented in a licence to alter. We act for landlords, considering the proposed alterations and providing our comments and advice in respect thereof.
We advise on a wide range of Landlord and Tenant matters, including general consultancy and service charge matters.
