Services

  • Property Sourcing

We will help you find the right premises for your business.

Before we do this it is important that we fully understand your business needs by discussing with you the current situation and your vision for the future of the business. Only once a detailed analysis of your requirements is complete will we commence the next phase. We locate, view and assess suitable properties for you. 

If needed we do this on a confidential basis to maintain your anonymity and to provide you with a buffer from landlords agents. We will source properties that are available both on and off market to ensure the widest coverage.
We then give you an overview of the market and all available options that match the parameters of your search. We will provide you with a recommended shortlist of properties to view.
Next, we organise and accompany you on scheduled viewings and then advise you on the costs associated with each of the various properties.
We have a proven track record of finding the right property for our clients.

  • Rent Reviews
These generally occur every 5 years. With professional advice we can ensure that your financial obligations are minimised.

  • Lease Negotiation

Once the right property is identified it is crucial that you secure the right terms for occupying the property. A major mistake that some tenants make is not to address all lease terms during the negotiation process. This means that these terms are essentially conceded in favour of the landlord when the lease itself is drafted and agreed. Our focus is to achieve the best possible combination of conditions, protection and costs for you, the occupier.
Once terms have been agreed, we ensure that these are reflected in the final lease by working alongside your solicitor.

  • Lease Restructuring 

Once you are in a lease you may want to change one or more lease clauses. Restructuring a commercial lease depends on the willingness of both landlord and tenant to amend their existing lease obligations. Tenants can use an impending option to break in their lease as leverage to get a landlord to the negotiating table. However discussions can be started when no such lever exists and can be instigated by either party at any time during the lease term. To ensure the best possible outcome, planning for a lease re-structure should typically commence 6-12 months before any notice needs to be served or 18 months before any event date.
Typically, though not exclusively, a restructure or re-gear will involve the occupier extending their lease term, or removing a break option within their existing lease, in exchange for incentives from the landlord. 

Incentives could be a cash lump sum, rental reduction, rent free period or the removal of onerous provisions from the lease.

  • Service Charges

Cost saving is a hot topic for all businesses at the moment and this will continue to be the case during 2012. We check the service charge on your business premises. We  provide expert analysis and advice on current costs, historic costs and future costs to charged by the Landlord. We have a unique strategy which looks at every aspect of the service charge regime at a building including service charge certificates, budgets, sinking funds and apportionments.
We act on your behalf to reduce your existing service charge costs while at the same time ensuring the landlord tenant relationship is maintained and the landlord continues to provide essential services.
Allowing us to represent you and save you money allows you to concentrate on what you do best...running your business.

  • Early Exit Strategies

When you want to leave your property but your existing lease has not, or is not about to expire then we can advise you on the options to get you out of your existing lease and minimise the associated liabilities.

This could be through:

  • assignment
  • subletting
  • sharing
  • surrender

Contact us now on 01225 427 267 to see how we can help you with your exit strategy.

  • Dilapidations

This is a term that refers to the repairing liability that a lease places on the owner, or occupier of that lease specifically to return the premises at the end of the lease in repair.

Occupiers can often be exposed to potentially crippling exit costs that will be vigorously pursued by the landlord upon expiry or earlier exit of the lease.

Contact us now on 01225 427 267 to see how we can help you with your Dilapidations.

  • Lease Renewal

When your lease is coming to an end we can help you with your lease renewal or exit strategy.
