The time frame to negotiate a commercial lease varies, as each case is individual. Some cases could take as little as days whereas others could last a year or longer. Often, the reason for delay is if both parties are not conforming to the negotiation therefore stopping the negotiation from progressing.

Leases: Commercial leases can contain a variety of terms and conditions that must be considered carefully before signing. We act for landlords and tenants and often advise them on important issues that may arise in commercial leases in relation to service charges, non-payment of rent, breach of covenant, forfeiture, assignment and underletting. We have worked with a range of businesses and have helped to secure commercial leases for bars, restaurants, hotels, offices, retail spaces and industrial units.
License Agreements: Licenses can be difficult to understand, and legal assistance is always advised to ensure that your license is appropriate for your business and no important details are missed. Our expert solicitors provide assistance to clients applying for licenses for commercial properties such as bars and restaurants. We also help our clients to make amendments to existing licenses and to buy or sell licensed commercial property.
