LEASE RENEWALS
The renewal of a business lease under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, is complex for those unfamiliar with its provisions. We are able to advise both in terms of the statutory protection and also the strength of the parties negotiating position.

Opportunities can arise for either party to obtain a significant commercial advantage on a lease renewal and it is therefore important for a clear understanding of the strict procedure of notices and counter notices.

Working closely with our commercial agency department, we have detailed knowledge of the market forces that can determine the terms of a new lease.

RENT REVIEWS
Rent reviews also require a full understanding of the Landlord and Tenant Acts, together with the case law relating to other rent reviews.

We will provide clients with initial advice on the justification of an increase before notices have been served.

Our fees can be performance related to reflect the increase or saving achieved where appropriate.

Rob Weston and Roger Whybrow, backed up by Charles Clark deal extensively with these two areas.

We have wide experience in acting as expert witnesses in Arbitration Independent Expert procedures, Lands Tribunal and the High Court.
