How our commercial lease solicitors in Ascot can help

Negotiating new and existing leases

Whether you and a commercial landlord or tenant, it is essential that you get the right terms in place for your commercial lease. It the majority of cases, there is likely to be some form of negotiation over the specific terms of the lease, as both parties will look to protect their own interests and have terms in place which they believe to be fair.

Our commercial lease solicitors in Ascot can support you in negotiating terms, identifying any potential issues that could have an impact on your business in both the short and long-term. Depending on the circumstances, we can also support you in drafting additional terms, such as break clauses.

Commercial lease variations

There may be a situation where an existing commercial lease needs to be amended because it is not deemed to be appropriate or has simply become out of date over time. Where this is the case, our commercial lease solicitors can support you in making a deed of variation.

Our team can take you through the entire process of making a deed of variation for your commercial lease, making sure that the variation reflects both the current market conditions and the current and expected needs of your business.

Commercial lease assignments

In commercial leases, there will often be certain restrictions on matters such as assigning and underletting. However, there may be a situation where it would be in your best interests to assign, sublet or underlet the lease, which is something our commercial lease solicitors in Ascot can advise you on.

When instructed, our team can work with you to carefully review the terms of your lease, whether assignment is possible, and under what circumstances this can be possible. If it is possible to proceed with assignment, we can also support you in making the correct decision with regards to the tenant you select.

Terminating commercial leases

There are a number of reasons why you may see fit to terminate a commercial lease before the listed expiration date. Whatever your reasoning may be, our commercial lease solicitors in Ascot can assess all of your available options and proceed to guide you through all of the necessary steps that need to be taken in order to end your lease, without experiencing any unwanted legal repercussions.

This applies whether you are a commercial tenant who is eager to terminate a lease via early surrender, or you are a commercial landlord who wishes to cut ties with a tenant after they have breached the terms of an existing lease.

Rent review

Both landlords and tenants need to make sure that they are fully aware of their rights and the agreements that are in place regarding the current rent that is payable. Rent review can enable a variation of the rent payable under a lease. Naturally, these reviews can be extremely beneficial, particularly for landlords, as they allow for an uplift in market rental values to reflect the general market.

Our team can work with you to have rent review provisions carefully drafted so that they are fair to both parties and remain as flexible as possible.

Repair and dilapidations

Contained within most commercial leases will be provisions for the tenant to keep the property in a good condition and for any repairs to be made under the terms of the lease. Dilapidations refer to the damages of defects to the property which are the result of a tenant breaching these terms.

Our commercial lease solicitors in Ascot can support you if you are a landlord making a dilapidations claim, or a tenant who is seeking to defend against a claim.
