Guidance for commercial tenants
When to get professional advice
We recommend that you ask for the services of a solicitor or licensed Conveyancer on the following occasions:
- When you are first considering taking on a lease
- When you are nearing the end of your lease
- When you want to assign your lease
- When you are dealing with any other matters relevant to the lease, for example: alterations, change of use, rent review
- For general advice on your legal position.
If you need details of local solicitors and licensed conveyancers, contact the Law Society or Council for Licensed Conveyancers.
We also recommend that you appoint a Chartered Surveyor to act for you during rent reviews and negotiations about renewing your lease. See Contact details .
