Dealing with advice on market rental values, rent reviews on behalf of Landlords or Tenants, condition reports, general advice on any landlord or tenant matters. We have considerable experience gained over the years in acting for both landlord’s and tenants in respect of rent review and lease renewal negotiations. Local knowledge is vital when negotiating these matters and as a company we seek to achieve the best possible result under the terms of the lease for our client.

Schedules of Condition
If you acquire a lease of business premises in the UK you may find that you have accepted a repairing liability which will mean that you have to leave the property in better condition than it was at the start of the lease.  To avoid this, well advised business tenants are now seeking the services of  a property professional to record the condition of premises by means of Schedule of Condition.

The purpose of this is to document the condition of the premises as at the lease commencement or alternatively at assignment.  By documenting the condition of the premises at the outset you could be saving yourself a considerable sum of money come lease expiry.

Dilapidations
The law of dilapidations applies to leasehold properties and is usually applied when the lease is coming to an end. We can act for Landlords or Tenants in dilapidations work.

For the Landlord we would prepare the schedule, cost it, negotiate a settlement and arrange for the works to be undertaken on his instruction.

For the Tenant we can advise on the potential liability before a schedule is served, advise on the liability on receipt of a schedule of dilapidations, and negotiate a settlement or arrange for the works to be undertaken if applicable.
