This document outlines the contract you and your landlord have made<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and details the leased property. The section detailing the property is the description of premises. This article will explain the information within the description of premises and why it is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-in-a-commercial-lease-agreement\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is in a Commercial Lease Agreement?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your commercial lease agreement is a legally binding document that details the property you are leasing. It explains what you can use it for and includes details of the agreement that you and the landlord have made. For example, this agreement will include clauses that detail:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the type of property being let (for example, a retail unit in a shopping centre, a floor of an office building, or a small unit in a business park);<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">what you can use for the property for;<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the address of the property;\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a description of the property, together with any relevant plans;\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">details about the agreed lease fixed term;<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">any provisions around the right of the parties to end the lease early through a break clause;<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">any provisions around the tenant\u2019s ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/assigning-vs-subletting\/\">assign or sublet the property<\/a> to someone else;<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the rental amount for the property and when you should pay the rent; and\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">provisions about repairs and maintenance obligations of each party.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-does-a-description-of-premises-cover\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Does a Description of Premises Cover?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lease must describe the property you are leasing. It will include the address of the premises you are renting and the extent of the property, both external and internal. For example, this might include a plan showing which part of a larger property you are leasing, defining the boundaries clearly. If you rent an area in an office building, a floor plan will show the exact area you are leasing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It will also explain or show the access routes to the property and any rights of way, particularly if these are unclear. For example, if you lease a retail unit in a shopping centre, you would need to cross the shopping centre land to access your shop. You must also have a way to access a loading bay and refuse areas.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An office unit might include a detailed floor plan as well. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--idea\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The description of premises must be clear enough that someone reading the lease would understand exactly what property they are leasing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The description of the premises may include details of the <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/dilapidations-clauses\/\">fixtures and fittings<\/a> included in the property. Fixtures are fixed to the property and not easy to remove. For example, these may include any built-in furniture, a small bathroom, or a kitchen facility. Fittings are items not affixed to the property. For example, if the property you are leasing has a small fitted kitchen for staff, a standalone refrigerator that you can move around the property would be a fitting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a

This means there are no surprises later on. Additionally, a description of premises is important because the tenant is usually responsible for the repair and maintenance of the property. If you are renting a whole building, you are responsible for maintaining the whole of it. However, if you rent one part of a larger property, you m<\/span>ust only<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> repair the parts under your control and use.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, suppose you lease office space for your staff to work from. If a problem with the building\u2019s integral structure or foundations arose, you would not want to be held responsible for fixing that.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similarly, if the property description includes fixtures and fittings, these should be detailed<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maintenance-and-repair-obligations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maintenance and Repair Obligations<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because it is usually the tenant&#8217;s responsibility to repair and maintain the premises they are renting, it is also essential that the property\u2019s condition, fixtures and fittings are included in the lease. This information may be contained in a separate Schedule of Condition document, mainly where the property is not in perfect condition. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n<p>Your new lease should not oblige you to keep the property in better shape than when you took on the tenancy. Therefore, the state of the property and its fixtures and fittings must be described accurately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-takeaways\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The description of premises in a commercial property lease <\/span>must<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> accurately describe the property, in terms of the:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">area;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">type of the property;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">associated rights of way;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">access to the property;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the property\u2019s interior; and&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">any fixtures and fittings included in the property.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The property description must be accurate so you know what you are leasing and maintaining.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help with leasing property for your business, our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/leasing-lawyers-lp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">leasing <\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/leasing-lawyers-lp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lawyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.

It will describe the extent of the property and information about the property&#8217;s interior. The description will also include or reference any plans that show the property\u2019s boundary or scope.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1643866702386\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is a schedule of condition concerning a commercial lease?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A schedule of condition details the property\u2019s condition and fixtures and fittings, particularly in older properties. The property tenant is usually required to repair and maintain the property they are renting. In an older property or commercial premises, the tenant is not obliged to improve the condition of the premises. A schedule of condition outlines the state of premises at the start of the lease term, and the tenant\u2019s responsibility will be to maintain this condition.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<div class=\"not-prose m-feedback-prompt\">\n    <!-- Thumbs up\/down bar -->\n    <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__main\">\n        <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__title\">Was this article helpful?<\/div>\n        <div>\n            <!--span class=\"m-feedback-prompt__button--text\">Thanks!<\/span-->\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"m-feedback-prompt__button m-feedback-prompt__button--yes\"\n                    data-analytics-link=\"feedback-prompt:yes\" aria-label=\"Agree\">\n                <i class=\"fa-regular fa-thumbs-up fa-3x\"><\/i>\n            <\/button>\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"m-feedback-prompt__button m-feedback-prompt__button--no\"\n                    data-analytics-link=\"feedback-prompt:no\" aria-label=\"Disagree\">\n                <i class=\"fa-regular fa-thumbs-down fa-3x\"><\/i>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Feedback form -->\n    <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form\">\n        <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form--thanks \">\n            <div>Thanks!<\/div>\n            <p>\n                We appreciate your feedback \u2013 your submission has been successfully received.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <form id=\"contact-form\" class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form--form\" action=\"\" method=\"post\">\n            <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"authenticity_token\" name=\"authenticity_token\" value=\"9eb4f72322\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2247\" \/>            <input value=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/what-is-a-description-of-premises-in-england-and-wales\/\" type=\"hidden\" name=\"currenturl\"\n                   id=\"currenturl\">\n            <input value=\"What is a Description of Premises in England and Wales?\" type=\"hidden\" name=\"currenttitle\"\n                   id=\"currenttitle\">\n            <label>\n                <!-- display on thumbs-up -->\n                <span class=\"m-feedback-prompt__feedback m-feedback-prompt__feedback--yes\">\n                    Can you tell us <span class=\"font-semibold\">why<\/span> you found it helpful?\n                <\/span>\n\n                <!-- display on thumbs-down -->\n                <span class=\"m-feedback-prompt__feedback m-feedback-prompt__feedback--no text-lg\">\n                    How can we better improve this article?\n                <\/span>\n                <textarea name=\"feedbackmessage\" id=\"feedbackmessage\" required><\/textarea>\n            <\/label>\n\n            <div class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form--error\" id=\"form-submit-error\"><\/div>\n            <button id=\"submit-contact-form-button\" type=\"submit\" name=\"commit\" class=\"m-feedback-prompt__form--submit\"\n                    data-analytics-link=\"feedback-prompt:submit\">\n                Submit            <\/button>\n        <\/form>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you rent commercial property in England and Wales, you must sign a commercial lease agreement.
