Lease Advisory

LEASE ADVISORY SERVICES

Our lease advisory surveyors provide impartial advice to both owners and occupiers of commercial property including industrial, offices and retail premises.

Embedded within active agency teams, our advisors keep abreast of the latest market developments and maintain an extensive database of transactions and availability.

Our areas of expertise

Lease restructure – break options

Changing market and economic conditions coupled with evolving accounting practices have resulted in companies undertaking a reappraisal of leasehold liabilities and investors seeking to minimize voids whilst maximizing investment returns.

Our teams actively seek to maximize the value of such opportunities through strategic advice, thorough financial appraisal of options and negotiation on new lease terms.

Rent reviews – expert witness

Technical expertise coupled with local market knowledge enables us to provide advice and negotiation support on rental value and strategy, preparation of arbitration / independent expert reports and expert witness representation.

Lease expiries & renewals

The end of a lease offers an opportunity to restructure the lease terms when the rent can go up or down. Whilst a statutory framework governs most renewals, resulting in some cases being referred to court, an increasing number of leases are unprotected.

Dilapidations – Diminution Valuations

In conjunction with building surveyors and solicitors, our experienced Lease Advisory surveyors provide advice on the extent to which statutory provisions can cap damages payable for breach of repairing obligations.

Arbitration & independent expert referrals

In the event a settlement cannot be negotiated, we are highly experienced in the referral of rent review disputes to either arbitration or independent experts.

The necessity to provide properly researched and admissible evidence is fully understood as are the responsibilities of an expert witness.

Our lease advisory surveyors are regularly appointed by the RICS (and by private appointment) to act as arbitrators or independent experts.
