As such, you should consider this before you commit to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/terms-to-negotiate-for-commerical-lease-tenant\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lease agreement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. You should also note that the rent can be subject to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/landlord-increase-rent\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rent review<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, usually every five years.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your rental payments will not typically cover your bills for utilities in your commercial property, such as electricity or gas. It is also unlikely to cover your business rates which is the council tax due. Therefore, you will need to cover these separately as part of your financial obligations under a commercial lease. In addition, HMRC may require you to pay stamp duty for your commercial property.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Service Charge<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Where the commercial premises you rent is part of a larger property, it may contain communal areas you and other businesses that occupy the building share. For example, it may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a reception area;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lifts;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">meeting rooms; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a breakout area.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If so, you will likely have to pay a charge towards these to help maintain them. A service charge may also cover upkeep costs for the structural walls of the building and the roof. You often pay service charges on account or on an ad hoc basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a commercial tenant, one of your financial obligations under your commercial lease agreement is to pay an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/insurance-obligations-tenants\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">insurance premium<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for your landlord for their building insurance. Alternatively, they may request a proportion of this if you share the property with other businesses.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lease Transfer or Sublet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A financial obligation you may not be aware of when entering a commercial lease is the cost if you wish to transfer the lease or sublet part of your commercial premises to another person. You will need your landlord\u2019s permission to do either of these, which they may incur costs for, and you will usually be liable for these. Costs can be for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">their consideration of your request;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the draft of the form you fill out for permission; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">agreeing to your request.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maintenance and Decor Costs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your lease will also detail liability for costs associated with the maintenance and decor of your commercial promises. You may be liable for repair work to your commercial building or basic updates.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You will usually have to ensure the property is in the same state of repair from when you first entered it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, when you first move into your property, you will need to ensure it can accommodate your business type. Often, you will need to account for fit-out costs, such as providing staff toilets or building a commercial kitchen if you run a restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you take on a commercial lease as a UK tenant, there are a variety of financial obligations you must commit to. In addition to your rent payments, there are others, some of which may be regular costs, and others may be one-off but hefty costs. For example, you will likely need to pay a deposit before you move in, which could be as much as six months&#8217; worth of rent, and you may have to pay a premium payment. You may also incur regular costs such as service charge payments. You should also account for your bills, such as utilities and business rates.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help understanding your financial obligations as a tenant, our experienced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/leasing-lawyers-lp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">leasing lawyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
