We can also help with agreements for leases, alterations, assignments and under lettings, break options, surrenders, variations, rent deposit deeds, licences and tenancies at will.
We advise on all aspects of commercial real estate including:
01
Agreement for lease and leases
Our team of experts have extensive experience in drafting and negotiating agreements for lease and leases. We are also experts in dealing with other forms of tenancy and licence agreements.
02
Alienation
If you are looking to pass your lease on, we can advise you on the assignment and underletting processes and help to negotiate the documentation on your behalf.
03
Alterations
If you are looking to make changes to a property that you lease, you may need landlord’s consent to do so. We can assist you with the process of obtaining and documenting such consent.
04
Auctions
Our team of experts can help with auction sales and purchases.
05
Break clauses
A break clause in a commercial lease allows either the landlord or the tenant to end a lease early. It is important that the clause is drafted correctly at the outset. We can assist with negotiation of the break clause and advise you how to exercise such right.
06

Freehold and leasehold acquisitions and disposals are the processes of buying and selling commercial or mixed-use properties. Our team can guide you through the relevant process.
