As a landlord, it’s incredibly important that you’re aware of (and understand) your obligations and responsibilities according to the agreement to avoid unnecessary litigation disputes. Equally, it is important to know where you stand when it comes to addressing issues with tenants.
Having a Commercial Lease Solicitor helps protect your interests, giving you peace of mind throughout the leasing period.
A commercial lease is a contractual agreement between a business tenant and a landlord, outlining the terms and conditions for the use of a commercial property during the leasing term.
Entering into a commercial lease is a significant step for any business, and fully understanding the terms and conditions is crucial to avoid potential pitfalls that could be detrimental to your business.
Having a commercial lease solicitor in place will help you decide on lease types, what to do about any ‘unreasonable’ terms, your renewal options, and what would happen to the lease in other potential scenarios such as business failure.

A commercial lease is a legally binding agreement between a landlord and a tenant, allowing the commercial tenant the right to use the property for business purposes such as for a retail space or office area for a set period of time. The lease is there to protect both parties, outlining their rights and obligations during the leasing period.
While instructing a solicitor isn't a legal requirement, trying to handle a lease without legal advice can be risky. These contracts are often packed with small print that carries big consequences. A solicitor will break it all down, spot any red flags, and make sure the agreement works for you now and in the long run.
At the very least, you’ll want to see clear terms around the rent, the length of the lease, any service charges, and what happens if either side wants to make changes or end the agreement early. It should also deal with things like who insures the property, who’s responsible for repairs, and if there will be any alterations. However, commercial leases can often be far more complex, so it’s always recommended that you discuss your options with a professional Commercial Property solicitor.
Sometimes, but only if your lease includes a break clause. Even then, there are usually strict rules about notice periods and conditions. If there’s no clause in place, your options are more limited. Either way, you should always discuss your situation with an experienced solicitor before making any decisions.
Forfeiture is when a landlord ends the lease because the tenant has broken the terms – often by missing rent payments or failing to keep up with their responsibilities. It’s a serious step and can lead to eviction, so if you’re facing it (or you're a landlord that's considering it), it’s important to understand your rights and legal obligations straight away.
