It allows you to have an established storefront for customers to visit or a settled office for your employees to work from. Unless your business wants to own property, you will likely enter into a <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/types-commercial-leases\/\">commercial lease<\/a>. This lease agreement will contain several rights and obligations you must comply with as a commercial tenant. If you are having difficulties understanding the terms of your contract, commercial property solicitors can give you expert legal advice. This article will explain how a property solicitor can assist you with your commercial lease in the UK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Property<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you enter a commercial lease, it will concern a specific property or part of a commercial property. Importantly, you must be clear about what areas of the property fall under your commercial lease. For example, do you only have access to one store or the whole floor in a building?\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately, if you incur boundary problems as part of your commercial lease, they can be tricky to rectify and costly.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--star\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A property solicitor can explain where boundaries lie for your occupation of the commercial premises and identify common areas of the property, such as the stairs or kitchen areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use of Premises<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As part of leasing a commercial space in the UK, you should consider what business activities you will conduct on the property and whether the commercial lease will permit this. For example, your lease agreement might only permit retail businesses to use the property, which would be very unhelpful if you were planning to open a cafe. Therefore, your property solicitor can help you understand the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/usage-terms\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">usage terms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> within your lease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, you will need to know whether you require planning permission for your business use or if additional consent from your landlord is necessary. A property solicitor can guide you regarding your lease terms to ensure you do not <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/costs-breach-of-lease\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">breach your agreement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold

Unfortunately, commercial landlords tend to want onerous repair obligations for their commercial tenants as it is in their interest to look after their property. For example, a repair obligation in your commercial lease could require you to leave the commercial promises in better condition than when you entered the commercial lease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A property solicitor can help ensure that your repair obligations in your lease protect you in terms of the extent of these. For example, a property solicitor can help ensure that you include a schedule of conditions, so you do not need to ensure the property is in a better condition than when you first entered the lease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lease Review<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While you might not engage a solicitor when you first negotiate a commercial lease, they can be useful if you want to review your final contract. A lease review is where a property solicitor looks through the draft lease agreement to ensure that there are no obligations that are material issues for you or are not market standard. They can also advise on areas that may not be legally correct and endeavour to have the lease protect your interests as much as it will inevitably protect the landlords.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A property solicitor can be very useful when entering into a lease on commercial premises in the UK. A property solicitor can help you negotiate your commercial lease to ensure it best protects your business. They can also ensure that the commercial property you wish to occupy caters to your business activity and can look through the draft lease agreement to ensure you understand the risks involved in entering into it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help understanding your commercial lease in the UK, 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.
