A commercial lease solicitor is a lawyer who specialises in the legal aspects of leasing commercial properties. They can assist with drafting and reviewing commercial lease agreements, negotiating lease terms, and resolving disputes between landlords and tenants. They can also advise to ensure full compliance with any applicable laws and regulations, including those related to eviction, rent increases, and repairs.

If you are a landlord, a commercial lease solicitor from Grant Saw can help you protect your rights and interests as a property owner and ensure your lease agreements are legally enforceable. If you are a tenant, their commercial lease solicitors can help you understand your rights and obligations under the lease and negotiate more favorable terms, if necessary.

The landlord and tenant have typically reached an agreement on the broad parameters of a new lease before it is granted, either directly or with the help of an agent. Each party appoints a solicitor who acts in their best interests. Answers to questions and a draft lease created in line with the Heads of Terms are provided by the landlord's legal representative. After agreeing on the conditions of the lease, it is signed, with the landlord keeping a copy for their records. Rent and other amounts owing at the start of the lease are collected upon completion.

The Landlord & Tenant Act 1954, which offers many commercial tenants security of tenure rights (meaning the lease will not automatically cease when it expires), may call for serving a notice to the tenant. If terms cannot be agreed upon, the professional solicitors at Grant Saw can aid with the legal process to have the issue resolved in court or with the assistance of a professional arbitrator appointed on court terms under the Professional Arbitration on Court Terms (PACT) Scheme.

From leases and lease renewals to purchases and acquisitions for owner occupiers, investors, and developers, the team at Grant Saw advise their clients on all forms of commercial property transactions.
