Commercial Property Leasing Solicitors for clients in Sussex including Brighton, Uckfield and Seaford
The average commercial lease is one of the most complicated and contentious contracts any businessperson will enter into – classified by Rix & Kay as a business liability not an asset. Drawn up almost entirely in favour of the landlord, many tenants still decide against specialist advice – often with disastrous results.
Whether moving business to new premises, relocating or leasing premises for a new venture, it pays to get sound advice.
Rix & Kay is actively promoting sustainability through ‘Green Lease Principles’. Working alongside clients, they improve environmental performance of existing properties in a bid to reduce the UK’s carbon footprint. This is accomplished through memorandum of understanding and ‘Green Lease’ clauses, where appropriate.
Preparation Is Key
Every commercial lease is different. They depend on the type of building being taking on, the nature of the business and individual preferences and requirements. They are not, however, written in stone, so tenants do not have to accept all the conditions of the lease presented.
This is where Rix & Kay can help, by explaining various lease types, tenants’ rights and responsibilities; ensuring clients are fully aware of expectations and consequences.
Associated considerations such as repairs and dilapidations, rent reviews, insurance and selling a lease on are all outlined to clients. Rix & Kay negotiates a lease that gets clients the property they want, with terms they agree to. This equates to getting into the building with minimal cost, minimal risk and maximum speed.
