What We Handle

Our Commercial Lease Services

We advise landlords and tenants across all types of commercial lease transactions — from new lettings to renewals, surrenders, and assignments.

New Commercial Leases — Tenants

We act for tenants taking on new commercial premises — reviewing and negotiating the lease terms on your behalf, including rent, lease length, break options, repair obligations, and permitted use.

New Commercial Leases — Landlords

We act for landlords granting new leases — preparing the lease documentation, advising on tenant terms, and managing the transaction from heads of terms through to completion and handover.

Lease Renewals

We advise both landlords and tenants on commercial lease renewals — negotiating the new terms and managing the documentation through to completion of the renewed lease.

Lease Surrenders

Where a tenant wishes to exit a lease early by agreement with the landlord, we act for both parties on the surrender — documenting the agreed terms and managing the handback of the premises.

Lease Assignments

Where a tenant wishes to transfer their lease to another party, we manage the assignment process — acting for the outgoing tenant, incoming tenant, or landlord as required.

Lease Re-Gears

A re-gear involves renegotiating the terms of an existing lease before it expires — often to extend the lease in exchange for adjustments to rent or other terms. We act for both landlords and tenants on re-gear transactions.

Acting for Landlords & Tenants

Commercial Lease Advice for Businesses & Property Owners in Harrow

Taking on a commercial lease is a significant commitment for any business. The terms agreed at the outset — rent, lease length, break options, repair obligations — will govern your occupation of the premises for years to come. Getting the right advice before signing is important.

We act for tenants at all stages — from reviewing the initial heads of terms through to negotiating the final lease and completing the transaction. We also act for landlords preparing and granting leases, managing renewals, and dealing with surrenders and assignments across their portfolios.

Speak to Our Team

Heads of Terms

Before formal lease documentation is prepared, the principal commercial terms are agreed between the parties and set out in heads of terms. We advise on the heads of terms stage and flag any points that need to be addressed before the lease is drafted.

Lease Negotiation

Commercial leases are individually negotiated. We review the draft lease on your behalf and negotiate the terms — covering rent review, break clauses, repair obligations, permitted use, and any other points specific to your transaction.

Break Clauses

A break clause allows the lease to be ended early at a specified point. The conditions attached to a break clause can be complex — we advise on what they mean in practice and ensure the terms are clearly documented.

Repair & Dilapidations

The repair obligations in a commercial lease determine your responsibilities for the condition of the premises during and at the end of your occupation. We advise on what these mean before you commit to the lease.

Common Questions

Commercial Lease FAQs

Yes. We act for both landlords and tenants on commercial lease transactions. Where both parties to a transaction are existing clients, we consider whether it is appropriate to act for both — in most cases independent representation is preferable.
A straightforward commercial lease can typically be completed within four to six weeks of heads of terms being agreed, depending on how quickly both parties respond to enquiries and approve the documentation. More complex transactions may take longer.
Key areas to consider include the lease length and any break options, the rent and how it is reviewed over time, the repair and maintenance obligations, the permitted use of the premises, and any restrictions on subletting or assigning the lease. Our team advises on all of these points before you commit.
A break clause is a provision in a commercial lease that allows the landlord, tenant, or both to end the lease at a specified point before the end of the term. Break clauses typically have conditions attached — for example, that the tenant must be up to date with rent payments. We advise on what these conditions mean in practice.
A lease re-gear is a renegotiation of the terms of an existing lease before it expires. It is often used where the tenant wants to extend the lease term and the landlord wants to adjust the rent or remove a break clause. Both parties can benefit from a re-gear — we advise on the process and the terms for both landlords and tenants.
