Letting advice for
firms on the moveTHE past couple of years havebeen testing for pretty mucheveryone, both in business andperhaps personally.
However, new businesses arestill starting out and tryingtheir hand at new ventures andexisting businesses can alwaysbe subject to growth orrestriction.
Elizabeth Deeley, a solicitor inthe commercial department atlaw firm, Parkinson Wright,said: When dealing withcommercial property there is somuch to take intoconsideration. An agent willusually draw up heads of termsto suit his client usually thelandlord but what could suit a
landlord may not be attractiveto a tenant and vice versa. Itsall about getting the rightbalance.
Is the property ready to go orwill works be required?
Mrs Deeley said: A landlordmay want control over thescope of any such works and alicence for alterations may benecessary to authorise theworks. Conversely, a tenants
ability to generate income
during these works will belimited and a reduced rent orrent free period may beappropriate.
Thought should be given tooptions to break andassignability of leases becausesboth landlords and tenantsneed the flexibility with theircommercial property.
Mrs Deeley said: Tenantsmay not want to be tied in for
lengthy periods, whether due touncertainty in markets orpotential restriction on growth.
Equally, landlords do notwant properties remainingempty for long periods of timeresulting from the tenant notmaintaining rental paymentsand leaving properties in anuninhabitable condition.
Who will maintain, repair anddecorate the premises? Whowill insure? How will increasesin rent be dealt with? How canthe landlord obtain security andprotect himself from unpaidrent and dilapidated premises?When will the lease start? Howlong should it be for?
Mrs Deeley said: And the list
goes on. Heads of terms areusually not legally binding butit can be difficult to amend keyterms once the main legal workcommences. It is thereforeessential you speak to an expertas early as possible in thenegotiation process.
For more information, MrsDeeley can be contacted on01905 726789, or check outparkinsonwright.co.uk.
