Commercial Property Lease

Whether you are a landlord or tenant, our commercial property team can assist you with the negotiation and drafting of a mutually acceptable commercial lease to ensure your interests and needs are always protected. This is fundamental given that these types of leases tend to be for a longer term and less protection is provided by the law as compared to a lease for a domestic property. Add in the pace of change of today’s trading environment, a lease tailored to your particular circumstances is the best way to avoid future disputes or disagreements.

Our experienced team can also check the terms of a pre-existing lease and advise on common issues such as termination, restrictions, repairs, alterations and signage or anything else that impacts adversely on your business.
